BRIEF: AC/DC concert draws some noise complaints from Wrigleyville residents

Sept. 16--For some North Side residents, AC/DC shook Wrigley Field a little too much Tuesday night.

Ald. Tom Tunney's 44th Ward office received between 15 and 20 messages from Wrigleyville-area residents about the sold-out concert, which included stage-level pyrotechnics, Tunney's chief of staff Bennett Lawson said. Most calls were noise complaints, while a few residents expressed concerns about malfunctions with the Cubs Hotline, intended to address concert questions, Lawson said.

Two of the comments about the show were positive, Lawson said.

In its Wrigley Field debut, the band played from 8-10 p.m., an hour before the ballpark's 11 p.m. curfew.

The show was the fourth and final Wrigley Field concert this summer. The Zac Brown Band concert Friday generated a few noise complaints, mostly from residents south of the ballpark, Lawson said.

The noise calls Tuesday were mainly from residents north and northwest of the ballpark, Lawson said.

Cubs spokesman Julian Green said there were "no problems that we are aware of" with the Cubs Hotline, which was scheduled to be open before and after the concert. Green said the Cubs do not track the number of hotline calls they receive.
