Long apologizes for actions during service
CHICAGO, May 1 (UPI) -- The head official at the Sears Tower's Skydeck says the Chicago tourist site is preparing to allow visitors a rare view from a new enclosure called the "Ledge."
Skydeck General Manager Randy Stancik said the Ledge, tentatively scheduled to open to the public in June, is a glassed-in enclosure that extends 4.3 feet out from the tower's observation deck, the Chicago Sun-Times said Friday.
Stancik said the Skydeck is visited by nearly 1.3 million people a year. He said the glass design of the Ledge will give visitors a direct downward view --- 103 stories down.
"This definitely will be something new to take from the experience, a new Skydeck memory," Stancik said.
Use of the Ledge will be included in the $14.95 Skydeck admission price for adults.
The Sun-Times said the addition of the Ledge comes as the Sears Tower is set to change its name to the Willis Tower after an insurance firm leasing part of the building.
