The Cubs and White Sox are among several teams across MLB "yet to be approved for 100% capacity, and both organizations are not happy about it," according to sources. There is reportedly "growing frustration" among Chicago teams. The state of Illinois has "approved a move to its final phase of reopening on June 11," which would "allow businesses to operate at full capacity." But the city of Chicago "has to sign off before the Cubs and White Sox can welcome full crowds back." Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has "indicated July 4 as an opening day of sorts for the city," but both teams "would like an earlier date for full capacity." Lightfoot's office said in a statement, "Seated spectator events remain at 60% capacity" (ESPN.com, 6/1).
