Regardless of your position, say good-bye to Wrigley.
I thought it would be something earth-shakingly stupid like taking out the ivy.
The current owners actually proposed that, so that pitchers warming up under the bleachers could see the game. These people have no souls.
Yeah, I’m similarly unmoved.
“When the Cubs return to Wrigley April 6, 2015 to face the Cardinals on Opening Day, the view above, which has (except for the addition of the Toyota sign) remained pretty much unchanged since the 1930s, will be different.”
So they’re going to change something that hasn’t changed (much) since the 1930’s, except for the time that it changed once before. And the ‘big change’ is more bleachers, and a video screen in place of a Toyota billboard? I realize it’s Wrigley Field, but they survived “lights”; Fenway survived “seats on top of the Green Monster”…I think the city of Chicago can weather this storm.
Fenway was substantially *improved *by all the changes there, and I know of no one who disagrees.
The most significant aspect of Wrigley is the team in white uniforms, and that experience is unlikely to change from the way it’s been for the last century.
