What Changes Do You Want To Wrigley?

what would you upgrade? Would you choose to leave as is? Is there anything that you would want change?

**tbo41fan** · 09-05-2010, 02:30 AM

Bathrooms when I went there were bad. lol

Id be ok with a little more upgraded scoreboard as well..but not too much, keep the old look

More advertisements along walls behind home plate and down the lines...

JCM · 09-05-2010, 02:56 AM

seriously?

I'm not really a Cubs fan (nor a White Sox fan)...Not all that into baseball...but I have been to Wrigley several times and in reality..I'd just get a new park. I know I cant speak much because I'm not really a fan...but they could use a modern facility..Just incorporate many things of old Wrigley into the new park.

You can't replace the atmosphere though. That's what makes Wrigley, Wrigley.

Fact is, we aren't getting a new park, so get over it.

They are gonna remodel Wrigley in 2014, but they really need better bathrooms.

Remodeling Wrigley can only do so much though. The proposed separate structure that will house a few shops and restaurants could be cool, but teams have been doing that kind of stuff since the SkyDome opened in 1995, and most (if not all) of those things are located within view of the action on the field, not in an adjacent structure.

What Ricketts really needs to do to bring the stadium's revenue on-par with the rest of the league are things he simply cannot do, or would at the very least have significant trouble doing. They had to jump through hoops with city zoning committees to put up that simple Toyota sign for this season, and they simply can't add private boxes/suites to the level that other "mallparks" currently have without completely re-structuring the stadium. And the scoreboard? Forget about it. I can only imagine the cries from meatball Cubs fans should the team openly discuss going modern. That stays untouched until Ricketts sacks up, gives the City the finger and builds the team a real stadium somewhere else.
