Levine: Day 2 At Wrigley Is Portable Wednesday

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The second day of Wrigley Field hosting reconstruction during a game has the portable potty parade adorning the corridors of the left-field concourse. Upward of 50 new individual-standing housed toilets are set up on the back walls of the ballpark in between the left-field line and home plate.

This new addition to augment lack of bathroom space was added over the last two days. The emergency relief stations were needed after the bathroom system to handle the sellout crowd that attended the home opener failed Sunday evening.

In an open letter to season-ticket holders, president of baseball operations Crane Kenney said that by mid-May the capacity to handle washroom traffic in Wrigley Field will increase by 40 percent. He also said that the portable toilets added over the last two days will bring Wrigley Field's capacity up to handle the same number of fans as the ballpark did before the new construction. The ballpark lost the largest bathroom space in the left-field corridor. This is the location where the new underground locker rooms and batting cages are being built for the 2016 season.

Day 2 construction had another section toward the power alley being worked on in pregame activities in the bleachers. The open area of ongoing construction now extends from the left-field foul pole to the Under Armour sign in left field.

The Cubs insist the left-field bleachers will be open by May 11. The right-field bleachers won't open until at least June 15.
