Rooms for Convention Weekend May or May Not be Sold Out

Perhaps as the result of the flurry of front office activity in the last few days landing Jon Lester with a whopper of a contract and getting Miguel Montero in a trade with Arizona, rooms for the 2015 Cubs Convention reportedly sold out.  Further reports, however, are that rooms still are available at this point, with the hotel possibly releasing a new block of rooms.

There are lots of reasons to be excited about the 2015 Cubs and we hope to see you at the upcoming Convention.  Weekend passes ARE still available as of today.
