The Curse of Wrigley Field

The City of Mesa overwhelmingly approved a new spring stadium complex for the Chicago Cubs in last night’s election.  With most of the votes in, the measure got a 63% positive response.  There’s some land that has to be secured so a deal hasn’t quite been finalized but this appears to be the biggest hurdle the team faced.  Most of the funding for the complex will come from an increase in the local hotel tax.
