CHICAGO (AP) — Die-hard Chicago Cubs fans now have a place to go when they do just that.

On Wednesday, small crowd gathered at Bohemian National Cemetery on the city's North Side for the dedication of a brick interment wall designed to look like a wall in dead center at Wrigley Field.

Before a ceremony at the wall he had built, Dennis Mascari said it has 288 "skyboxes" for urns. He said loved ones can sit in four seats from Wrigley Field that face the wall or even play catch on a small lawn grown from Wrigley sod.

Mascari says relatives of dead Cubs fans have already decided to move the urns of their loved ones to the wall, and some still living fans have said they want in when their time comes.
