Entertainment district a small part of Cubs complex in Mesa - East Valley Tribune: Mesa

What do you dearheart's think of the Wrigleyville West plans?

mittd

Plans for a Chicago Cubs spring training facility in Mesa show a plaza at the stadium’s entrance and soccer fields where the team will build the privately funded Wrigleyville. The stadium will sit roughly in the middle of the mile-wide site on Eighth Street that spans from Dobson Road to the Loop 101. Practice fields will flank the stadium’s west side. Wrigleyville is situated immediately to the east and a revamped Riverview Park will link the entertainment district to Dobson. A broad path — or possibly a road — will serve as a gateway as patrons walk from Dobson to the stadium.

Entertainment district a small part of Cubs complex in Mesa - East Valley Tribune: Mesa: "The highly-touted Wrigleyville West development at the Chicago Cubs spring training complex will likely start out small, Mesa officials said as they released the project’s first site plan.

In fact, the conceptual plans don’t indicate a single building of what is envisioned as an entertainment district with specialty shops.

As elected officials got their first look at the plan Monday, Mesa Councilwoman Dina Higgins pressed city officials on how much of the district would be in place when the complex opens in 2013."
