pag-asaharibon: Cubs stadium progress on fast track As you pass the future Chicago Cubs complex on Eighth Street in northwest Mesa, it’s still hard to guess what it will look like in just a few months. But City Engineer Beth Huning expects an explosion of progress as the new year nears, leading to completion as soon as next October or November. Already, Hunt Construction Group has gone vertical with the walls of a large clubhouse that will house the big-league team’s training facilities and offices. And before long, the steel skeleton of the stadium itself should begin to poke from what used to be Riverview Golf Course. “There’s a lot of things going on all over that site right now,” Huning said — and that includes work at Riverview Park, which will be even fancier than originally planned after voter approval in November of a park-bond package. As all that unfolds, Mesa is negotiating a deal that will move the Oakland Athletics from Phoenix to the Cubs’ present home, Hohokam Stadium, in time for spring training in 2015. (read more)

Cubs stadium progress on fast track

As you pass the future Chicago Cubs complex on Eighth Street in northwest Mesa, it’s still hard to guess what it will look like in just a few months.
