PHOTOS: Construction Under Way at New Cubs Field

The Kerry Wood Cubs Field behind Lane Tech is under construction as crews roll in the heavy machinery.

Construction crews are under way at the new Kerry Wood Cubs Field behind Lane Tech College Prep High School, a $5 million baseball stadium project at Clark Park.

Once completed, Kerry Wood Cubs Field will be owned and operated by the Chicago Park District. The field, which will include seating for 1,100 spectators and fans, is expected to be used by Chicago public high schools citywide throughout the high school baseball season during and after school hours. The Park District also expects to use the field for recreational leagues and use by the general public.

Construction on the new field should be completed in the first half of 2013.
