Its a good study, though I would like them to break it out from 1989 to now on night and day games.
Also wouldnt mind seeing the exact opposite how good are the Cubs on the road?

We do know what?
Its the seats allover again..., erm, I mean, Its the lights all over again. Every new generation will get attached to the parks history. Boo hoo.
The first game I went to at Wrigley was in 1983. The whole damn place smelled of urine(and it never fully went away!). It was an embarrassment then, and it's an embarrassment now. Just like walking next to a crazy mumbling homeless guy and telling yourself, "Boy this guy is cool, he's got character, and he should never change for the better."
This isn't the cornfields of Nebraska. It's dag gone Chicago. We don't need to make this city into a relic with all of these historical monuments. If you want to see a baseball game without the giant video displays and you don't want the distractions of the concessions, then go to a little league game. Go watch high school baseball, or hell, close your eyes while you take a leak and imagine the good ol' days of baseball when people still put wax in their mustaches and wore goggles while they rode horses.

You said people fear what they don't know. We do know that it will be a mallpark and that's what we fear.
That's fine that that is how you feel about Wrigley. But you are in the minority of Cubs fans(I'm assuming you are a Cubs fan).
Believe it or not, people may want to watch a good baseball game with the world's best players without a giant video display. Wrigley provides that option. But why are we still talking about this? Wrigley is here to stay.

The whole "it smells like urine" comment is becoming a weak cliche' and it is a ridiculous exaggeration. Its simply not true. Wrigley Field is part of the identity of the Cubs and the City of Chicago.

I didn't even know it was a cliche. Every Cubs game I have gone to at Wrigley gave me the experience. I'm not rehashing someone's jab at the park, this is what I had experienced.
Believe it or not, I used to go to Cubs games as often as I could. I may have compiled over 200 trips to friendly confines in my lifetime, and I sure as hell do not like the smell of urine.

No, the fear is if the Cubs owners move to a new stadium, will they be able to sit on their hands and still make money. Who cares if its a mallpark. Make it the greatest fucking mallpark on earth.
I'm in the minority among the younger demographics, and people who live near Wrigleyville. I don't think I am in the minority of Cubs fans in general.
And as far as having this whole experience about big screens and means of providing more jobs and revenue in the "malls", I realize that you're a theater person, you prefer live stage performances to movies at the cinema. Don't you think you might be in the minority here?

Ok, you walk by a restroom and it smells like urine. You walk to your seat, you do not smell urine and can watch a baseball game free of modern "mallpark" distractions.
The entire building does not smell like urine... Thats just not true.

No, I don't. I don't think the entire Lake View neighborhood would die... Just the Wrigleyville part of it. What is this? Are you trying to show how much more you know about Chicago than me? Seriously, whats the point of that?

I dont think Wrigley smells like urine really.
Its a dump but I don't really think it smells.

I didn't smell any urine when I went there and saw Pittsburgh shut them out 2-0.

The only way the whole stadium could smell like urine is if people pissed all over the place....
