Cubs Settle ADA Lawsuit, Promise Accessibility Upgrades at Wrigley Field

The Chicago Cubs have reached a consent decree with the Justice Department to address accessibility issues for disabled fans at Wrigley Field.

The settlement resolves a 2022 lawsuit alleging ADA violations during Wrigley Field's renovation, known as the 1060 Project.
The Cubs will improve wheelchair access and sightlines, including adding spaces in premium clubs and front-row areas.
The agreement requires ADA training for staff and contractors over the next three baseball seasons.
The Cubs will submit regular compliance reports to the Justice Department for the next four years.
The consent decree awaits final approval in federal court, with ongoing oversight by the Justice Department.
