Wrigley doesn't need to be torn down, they just need to overhaul the upper deck, almost rebuild it if you will. The lower level of Wrigley was pretty nice IMO, the upper deck not to much though. :/

It would be hard to build another stadium.. Just no where to build one.. Yeah the best chance is just to re-model the stadium.

Oh yeah that but building one in Chicago would be hard.

old comiskey was awesome.
the new park sucked until they overhauled it.
I dont need a bar scene or chicks to enjoy baseball. I am not sure how many games you have been to at the cell, but for me i would rather go there to watch a game. IMO I love the parking lot something the cubs are missing, and tailgating is a blast playing bags with random people.
Id much rather be comfortable in my seat and my surroundings of easy access to food and bathrooms and great viewing from all around the park than the party atmosphere.
my team can play in a little league park somewhere in the sticks, and I would not give a fuck, all I care about is October and winning. hell put the stadium in gary indiana, i dont care. win win win. that is what its about for me anyway.

Again, I'm not necessarily talking about the bar scene. I understand that people don't care about that.
Ive only been to one game and US Cell and it was nice... Its a good place to watch a game. The upper deck seats feel like a mile away from the field though, unlike Wrigley.
Also, I do not believe that winning is all you, or any fan, care about. Everyone wants their team to win but I am still going to hold the opinion that there is more to watching your favorite team than simply the record. I'm not trying to put words in your mouth... Just MO.
I do care where the Cubs play and I dont think it would mean as much if they won the World Series at a different ball park.

He said he didn't need no chicks, so I had to show him what he was missing. :shrug:

I dont speak for anyone else but me, and again, I dont care if they play in a walmart parking lot as long as bud selig hands over the world series trophy to my team, that is indeed all I can give a fuck about, all the other arguements are irrelevant to myself.

There is a huge tract of land next to the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates. All they would have to do is add a few bus lines from the Barrington metra stop.

Revenue would go way down then by moving to the suburbs.

I seriously doubt that. People would still come to the games and it would no doubt be a mall. I don't think it's a matter of money in this instance for Ricketts. He met his wife there and as long as the Ricketts own the Cubs, they will be playing at Wrigley.

That's what I've always said, but not in this thread. My thoughts exactly.

Wrigley Field is the site of an old Dakota Indian burial ground. The Cubs will never win a title there b/c the land is soiled....lol.
There are already enough fans traveling from the NW burbs to warrant a bus shuttle service from Shaumburg to Wrigley. It could easily be done in reverse. Then again, I'm sort of a purist. I like Wrigley, even though it reeks of urine and is falling apart.
