(AP) -- Wrigley Field has been damaged by a severe storm
that caused tiles to fall from the top of the press box at the
97-year-old ballpark.

 Emergency Management spokesman Roderick Drew says high winds
from the snowstorm battering Chicago on Tuesday night sent the
tiles flying. Two streets near the Chicago Cubs' famous stadium
were closed to cars and pedestrians.


Drew says Clark Street between Grace and Roscoe streets and
Addison Street between Sheffield and Racine avenues were closed
until further notice.


Drew says high winds were keeping maintenance crews from
repairing the tiles. He says crews from the city's building
department were also on the site monitoring the situation.
