City Approves [band name] To Play Wrigley

Today was the City Council Panel meeting that many of you were curious to hear about. We've been here before many times, only to get rejected at the last minute by that unfavorable vote. This time we owe it to local Aldermen Tom Tunney, the Cubs organization, and the local synagogues (the dates fall on Jewish holiday Yom Kippur) for their support because the vote passed the panel. Longtime active Ant, saxlover, was at the meeting to get the details. They passed the ordinance to allow 2 additional events at Wrigley, September 17th and 18th, for a concert but without a band mentioned. Rumors have been flying high that Dave Matthews Band are the ones slotted as the front runners for the spot and people at the council panel meeting seemed to believe it was DMB also. The plan will next go to the full City Council for consideration. So baring any Steve Bartman incidents and unlike 2007, DMB will be rocking Wrigley Field come September 17th and 18th.
