Recently, it was announced that a hotel would be constructed adjacent to the Cubs’ new spring-training complex. But now, there’s a catch.
Somewhere near the pictured location, just east of the main stadium of the Cubs’ new spring-training complex under construction in Mesa, Arizona, there was supposed to be built a hotel, the first non-baseball building on the site.
Not so fast, and you might be surprised at the reason this hotel hasn’t yet received Mesa City Council approval:
A hotel next to the new Chicago Cubs stadium is on hold until the full City Council can decide whether it’s willing to accept one without a bar.
The lack of drinking and dining amenities in the proposed Marriott Springhill Suites appeared to be the main stumbling block Monday as the council, with only four members on hand, hashed out the project.
