Was able to speak to buddy who's doing work for Marquee now after years at Comcast.
He mentioned that Marquee's staff is now as large if not larger than the old Comcast SportsNet Chicago staff. They are using less cameras at Wrigley but have as many staff as they had in 2018. The kickoff and rollout of Marquee was rough but they have staffed up with experienced staff so he expects operations should be good going forward.
He made mention of the plan to extensive discussions and potential rules regarding return to travelling for road games. Mentioned how nothing will compare to the "bubble rules" at Disney complex for NBA last season.
Interestingly, The Athletic has an article on the subject today:
