What happened: The owner of the final independent Wrigleyville rooftop continues a legal dispute against the Chicago Cubs. A federal judge recently ruled in favor of the team, ordering the business to stop selling tickets.

Why it matters: Ownership has acquired most surrounding rooftops since 2009, with others signing revenue-sharing agreements. The lone holdout faces demands for up to half of revenue after a prior pact expired.

What to watch: The operator is considering an appeal to keep the business open.
