In January 2004, the Cubs entered into a License Agreement (the Agreement) with the Plaintiffs. The Agreement permitted Plaintiffs to continue their business of wining and dining customers on the rooftops of buildings while watching the baseball game at Wrigley Field. The Agreement required Plaintiffs to pay the Cubs 17% of their profits, and in return, the Cubs agreed not to build any barricades that would block the long-distance viewing of the game. One exception permitted the Cubs to expand Wrigley Field if a governmental authority approved that expansion. In 2009, the Ricketts family purchased the Cubs and announced plains to expand the stadium, and one expansion appeared to block the rooftop view of the game. The Landmark Commission subsequently approved the expansion, and Plaintiffs filed suit.
