CHICAGO -- Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who is bidding for the Cubs, deflected comments about purchasing the MLB team during an appearance at a charity event on Wednesday night.

Cuban attended Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood's charity bowling event at 10pin Bowling Lounge.

"This isn't about me. I'm just here to support a good organization," Cuban told reporters.

Asked about his bid to buy the Cubs, Cuban said: "The Cubs have smart, smart people here. The team is doing great things. I just stay out of the way. Believe it or not, I can stay out of the way."

Cuban said he comes to Chicago often in the summer to escape the heat in Dallas.

"It's just that now you guys are paying more attention," he said to reporters.

According to reports, Cuban is one of four bidders who have offered at least $1 billion for the Cubs, Wrigley Field and the Tribune Co.'s stake in Comcast SportsNet Chicago. The NBA owner is believed to be the top bidder at nearly $1.3 billion.

Meanwhile, Cubs chairman Crane Kenney said the proposed "Triangle Building," which was to be built on Clark Street next to the ballpark, has been completely redesigned. Tribune Co. CEO Sam Zell's real estate team has added more retail and office space to the building plans and reduced the number of parking spaces.

The top floor would include a revenue-generating stadium club, according to a report in the Chicago Sun-Times.

"It'll be a first-class opportunity for business fans and those who entertain at the ballpark to do so," Kenney told the Sun-Times.

The new design includes a restaurant, retail stores and team offices. Batting cages and workout facilities would be constructed below ground with a tunnel connecting it to the clubhouse.
