Description | CHICAGO (AP) -- City officials ordered a new round of inspections at Wrigley Field on Thursday and threatened to block Monday night's game if the team can't prove the ballpark is safe.
Buildings Commissioner Stan Kaderbek said he ordered the review after a reporter noted during an interview Wednesday that some repairs at the ballpark were ``shoddy.''
``I said that certainly the reports we received from the Cubs don't indicate that,'' Kaderbek said, but he said he was concerned enough that he ordered new inspections.
Chunks of concrete have fallen from Wrigley Field's upper deck on at least three occasions since June, forcing stadium officials to install nets to protect Cubs fans and to conduct full inspections of the upper deck and mezzanine levels in July.
