Wrigley Field will be given federal landmark status in the National Register of Historic Places, ESPN reported Thursday.
The Ricketts family, owners of the Cubs and the stadium, will now be eligible for federal income tax credits on the facility.
The stadium, which already has local landmark status, has undergone major renovations in recent years under the Ricketts’ ownership, most notably the addition of two. electronic scoreboards in the outfield and moving the bullpens from the playing field to underneath the bleachers.
