Side note: I think those plans look pretty good. I'd be interested to check it out and buy a ticket.
Currently, I'm not interested in the old ballpark. I'd be happier to watch the game at a bar next to the stadium. Clean it up and it'd be a nice place to watch a game. |

The only other pro sports team that markets itself as a tourist sideshow is the Red Sox and they don't do it as much as the Cubs (there are over 1,000,000,000 people alive today who were around when they last won a World Series title or two).

I'm told the Cubs/Ricketts are going to buy the buildings that have the rooftop seating out in left field. That would simply eliminate alot of problems/lawsuits.

It's about ad revenue, the Cubs already backed down on their desire to build a parking structure a few blocks north of the park in the framework agreement.

FYI, Forbes' magazine has the Cubs' total franchise appreciating at 14% over the past year and at nearly $30 million of operating income in 2012, they were baseball's most profitable team last year. And this is surely the team's cooked books.
http://www.forbes.com/pictures/mlm45...-chicago-cubs/ Just in case anyone still wonders why they'd rather sink $500 million into Wrigleyville over all the free crap Rosemont is offering. |

O'Hare handles approximately three times as much traffic as LaGuardia does. It's more comparable to Midway.

I think this is the Cubs ultimate goal. The thing about advertisements that obstruct the view of the rooftops is that they can be removed/relocated once the rooftop owners go out of business and are forced to sell their buildings to the Cubs for far less than they're currently worth.

With all the proposed lit signage and building, you will be able to see Wrigleyville from space. Good luck sleeping on game and concert nights. If I owned one of the buildings being partially blocked, I'd erect spotlights and aim them towards home plate!

Then don't live near Wrigley Field.

Whiny David Haugh thinks that Ricketts should be able to do what he wants with Wrigley. Once Ricketts irons out some legal problems, I agree. As long it is with his money. |

Even if he did want to leave, MLB would never approve!
