The main reason why the Cubs should not have to play any night games
at Wrigley Field is because they would lose home field advantage.
Wrigley Field at night with lights would become the "unfriendly confines".
The Cubs have a great home record this year and it would only be fair to
be able to use this advantage, just like any other team.  Next year is the 
time to decide about lights, but to make the Cubs play post-season games
in the dark this year is unfair, since they didn't have the regular season
to practice playing in the lights at home.
