While it's not official, security concerns have been alleviated as Wrigley Field is reportedly overhauling its security.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that a plan with a $30 million cost – to be shared by the state, the city and the Cubs – was shared Wednesday, which will resolve any ongoing issues about ballpark security. This would give Major League Baseball the green light to return to the Friendly Confines.
The streets around the park would likely need to be closed down in order to host the game.
Atlanta is hosting the midsummer classic this year, followed by Philadelphia in 20-26.
