FILE - In this April 16, 2010 file photo, seats remain empty during the first inning of a baseball game between the Houston Astros and Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Year after year, the Chicago Cubs have been one of the biggest draws in all of baseball. Eight years in a row, until 2011, attendance topped the three million mark. But the Cubs drew tiny crowds for years, with one game in 1966 played before fewer than 600 fans. For a 15-year stretch ending in 1967, the Cubs never drew as many as 1 million fans and drew as few as 609,000. The historic ballpark will celebrate it's 100th anniversary on April 23, 2014.

FILE - This file photo shows an artist's rendering provided by the Chicago Cubs showing planned renovations at Wrigley Field. Wrigley Field has been the site of so much heartbreak that some fans who spend their whole lives waiting for a winner ask their families, if they can pull it off, to sneak their ashes inside to be scattered in the friendly confines, a final resting place to keep on waiting. But before years turned into decades and decades turned into a century without a World Series title, Wrigley Field was in first time and time again in changing the way we watch baseball and the experience for fans in ballparks around the country. Today, the Cubs are trying to play catch up with a project as dramatic as the one that resulted in a new scoreboard and brick outfield wall: a $500 million project that includes the kind of massive Jumbotron that towers over every other major league stadium. The historic ballpark will celebrate it's 100th anniversary on April 23, 2014. (AP Photo/Courtesy of the Chicago Cubs, File)
