Wrigley Field is in better condition than everyone thought. Now that the state buying the stadium is off the table, other possible buyers have been sent documents about the property.

From the Trib:

Sources indicated the books make no specific representation as to the condition of Wrigley Field and the work that needs to be done, even though the urgency of major capital expenditures on repairs and improvements was front and center as owner Tribune Co. sought to transfer ownership of the ballpark to the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority.
...
The books indicate Wrigley Field can continue to function with appropriate maintenance.

Rejoice, Mark Cuban!
