Chicago, Illinois - The Chicago Cubs today reached agreement with Tom Gramatis, owner of Sheffield Baseball Club and Wrigley Field Rooftop Club, regarding the operation of his new rooftop buildings at 3617 and 3619 N. Sheffield. The agreements run through 2023 - the same duration as the Cubs' agreements with other rooftops -- and make these rooftops official Chicago Cubs partners. The agreement also resolves a dispute regarding Gramatis' Ivy League Baseball Club rooftop at 3637 N. Sheffield.
"The Cubs are glad to see the rooftops continue to flourish," said Cubs Chairman Crane Kenney. "The 16 rooftop buildings have thrived since we first reached agreement in 2004. We're glad for them and we're happy to continue this relationship with the new buildings." As part of this agreement, the current litigation involving Sheffield Baseball Club and Wrigley Field Rooftop Club will be dismissed. Tom Gramatis stated, "We have built two brand new luxury rooftop buildings where even more Cubs fans can enjoy the game. We are happy to have reached a fair agreement with the Cubs and are looking forward to many years of a winning partnership." In all, there are 16 rooftop businesses in operation for the 2008 season. Each is privately owned and operated and has an agreement in place with the Cubs. More information about these rooftops is available at www.wrigleyrooftops.com.
