Comment: The expansion plan is terrific, as well as neccessary.
I would like to see them add on the West side, where there
is moderate parking now, a 10 story multi car parking ramp,
that annexes to the stadium for easy access and exit. I
understand they are considering such at the McDonalds lot
directly across the street ......where , and however........get
parking facilites on the priority list

Comment: Biggest problem is additional 1,800 seats-how will
they get there? Traffic is jammed, trains are packed, are
the cubs going to build a nonstop feeder ramp to 90/94?
I love this ballpark and part of neighborhood, but it was
built in an era with fewer people in an area not designed
for huge stadiums. There is NO DIRECT expressway access
(Lake Shore is a restricted use & speed road with stoplights!)
What fan doesn't love Wrigley the way it is? This is about
profits, not fans.

the country and have not seen Wrigley. This is strange considering
I only live a short drive away. It is only since a native
chicgoian friend comes to vist often I will have a chance
this thursday to come and see the great Wrigley stadium
home of the chicago cubs. Thanks, David Graves

Comment: even if the cubs did increase their revenue with
the expansion, how can we be sure that they will put at
least a good portion of that into salaries and players.
they never have before so what makes you thinnk that they
will now. they are ruining the tradition of wrigley field
just for their own profit, becuase hey, dont billionaires
need the money? the greedy bastards.

from the rest of the major leagues. len kasper's extreme
blandness is beaten only by bob brenly's lack of baseball
knowledge and his cornyness. the expansion is complete crap.

Comment: This expansion(with private funds)will allow one
of the true gems of baseball to remain viable,and for the
Cubs to remain there. I understand the complaints of Wrigleyville
residents,however might I respectfully submit that they
were there first. The Cubs have been neighborhood residents
since 1916. As for the rooftops,a few lawn chairs weren't
a problem. When you need structural steel to construct bleachers,and
charge admission,then it becomes something more than catching
a game(which it has).

Comment: As a lifelong cub fan, and beer vendor at Wrigley
Field for the past several years it is quite obvious that
from time to time Wrigley will need to be renovated and
expanded. My grandfather went to games in the 20's when
the park was completely different. All good things change
with time. Its obnoxious to think that Wrigley has reached
its peak, and we shouldn't mess with it. The neighborhood
can go to hell. Anyone living in those neighborhoods knew
what they were getting into.

Comment: Looks nice, as long as it doesn't change the face
of the stadium much ... As for bleachers ... the Cubs should
not expand over the sidewalks (or close Waveland or Sheffield)
without compensating the owners of the adjacent buildings.
Those people bought there because of their location; they
deserve their share of the street/sidewalk/view in its current
form; they have the right to stand on their roofs with their
friends. We shouldn't tax sight, and we shouldn't give Tribune
Corp free reign

Comment: I don't really think they should expand Wrigley.
I do like that they are going to attempt to keep it looking
the same, but I don't see why they are messing with a good
thing. Wrigley is the oldest park in the NL and it represents
tradition. Something Cubs fans know about. This expansion
is just an effort to make more money for the owners. It
is the same thing attempting to charge the rooftop owners.
Why change something that has always been this way?

Comment: I don't think some of the people that are posting
on here realize is that the damned resturant is underneath
the bleachers. It will not be visible from the field. As
for the expansion of the bleachers, it will add 1-6 rows.
That is not a big change. As for the building next door.
..I'm not wild about that, but if it means that they don't
have to turn the outfield into a giant ad, then go for it.
Also, the rooftop owners should have to share revenues from
their skyboxes across the street.

Comment: As long as they don't make Wrigley Field look like
the new Soldier Field, I'm for it. I don't understand why
the neighbors with rooftop views think they should be able
to watch the Cubs for free, LET ALONE make money by selling
seats. If I lived across the street from a strip club and
could see in their window, wouldn't they have the right
to obstruct my view? You bet. The Cubs ought to buy the
houses with rooftop views & sell tickets themselves. If
the owners won't sell, block their view.

Comment: This whole bleacher extension/destroy tradition
plan is a scam.Wrigley Field is loved for being one of the
best stadiums for a reason, be cause it maintains the old
baseball feel. There is no reason what so ever to have a
frickin restaurant in center field, what is this Comiskey?
And you don't need a shopping mall to create more revenue.
Build on the team and they will bring in the money, not
a ritzy parking lot and mall. Wrigley needs to stay Wrigley.

it is the best stadium in all of sports - because it's not

It is a landmark and the ways in which it flies in the face
of all current stadium trends is part of its charm. Please
leave it as it is, Tribune Company...I want to Wrigley to
look the same way when I am 70 as I did when I first went
there as a little kid. Some things should never change -

them think that they are going to go after the top free
agents on the market when they really never even care.This
year they were never gonna go for beltran or magglio, they
just make it seem like they care by saying that they dont
have the money.all the money they should be using for improving
the team goes into the funding for their ballpark expansion
so that they can make a few extra $.

The plans are tasteful and in line with the historic architecture
of the park. This is not going to necessarily draw MORE
people to the Wrigleyville area during a game, but rather
get more people into the park and out of the bars.

is very little advertisement in view once you get to your

elsewhere in the stadium holds off the addition of ads on

Comment: I agree with Wrigley needing more seats. It's hard
to get tickets and every extra seat helps. As for the "freeloaders"
who sit on the roofs,i hope your view is completely blocked
for good. If you want to watch the game buy a ticket like
the rest of us!

Comment: Why not allow more Cubs fans to see the game in
person? It seems really odd that someone who happens to
own a house nearby, has any say in this at all. So go for
it and it's too bad you can't add 10,000 seats--what a might
roar that would make!

Comment: I think the expansion is a great idea. I think
so of you are forgetting that Wrigley Field has been expanded
many times since it began as a 14,000 seat stadium. What
if Wrigley didnt add lights for night games? The new homeplate
seats are the best seats in the houe. In order to stay comepetitive,
the Cubs need to generate revenue to stay competitive with
all the teams with new stadiums that can seat 45,000+. Yankee
stadium seats almost 60,000 and they generate almost 300
mil in revenue.

are at the top of the list in all they contribute to the
experience. That being said, I don't live in the past, and
I like changes that improve the experience. Like the Green
Monster Seats at Fenway. Brilliant. I think this Wrigley
expansion -- bleacher seats, pedestrian promenade, and all
-- will be fantastic. If they keep in the style of the architecture
and neighborhood, adding ivy and brickwork, it will be a
beautiful thing.

Comment: They should tear that old dump down. Then build
a new stadium away from there. I know Wrigley brings joy
to baseball fans but it is really one of the reasons that
the Cubs don't win. Give the area back to the locals and
all you will have is a bunch of taverns. You can't play
the majority of games in the daytime with all of the traveling
that is needed. As far as the product that is out on the
field that is the property of the Trib and the roof-top
owners should pay.

people don't like the Cub's plan then the Tribune should
dump Wrigley and build a new stadium. A brand new stadium
would generate more revenue with the parking fee's that
the Cub's should be taking in instead of the lack of parking
that Wrigley presently has. Let the rooftop owners watch
the old ball park. Give the neighborhood back to the people
that are alway's complaining about the excessive amount
of day games.

most of it, the only thing i'm against is add billboards,
similar to behind homeplate. the renov. last yr was excellent
and didnt take away from Wrigley and same would go for the
bleachers. i feel unforunte for the residents there but
Wrigley and the Cubs were there operating first prior to
them even being born so i would say to them .. move. it's
a great area with a great ballpark and Wrigley would lose
anything if it expanded, seriously...

put up a months'salary if the Lakeview Neighbors want to
get together and buy the Property from the City. This would
keep the great Wrigley Field as it is and prevent further
expansion which will deteriorate Lakeview. Lets all chip
in some money and offer the City and Mayor Daley 4 Miilion
Dollars to put a nice Park next to Wrigley rather then expanding.

Comment: If the Triune and the Cubs had concentrated more
on winning ball games instead of wasting time and energy
trying to Expand to make even more money-----WE WOULD BE
IN THE WORLS SERIES NOW !! Who cares whether or not the
Cubs get money from rooftops. Bceause we blew it the last
week I think that tickets should be 25% less in 2005.

"Wrigley Mall" takes the place of Waveland Ave., and a restaurant

when considering the dropping cement from the upper deck.
I think that the Tribune Co. should do what the Yankees
have done twice to Yankee Stadium and recently to Soldier
Field. This would allow a modern facility while keeping
all of the attributes that people love about Wrigley. What
everyone has to realize is that sooner or later the end
of wrigley will happen, why not embrace it and try to allow
as much as possible to live on?

Comment: Bleacher expansion would increase overall capacity
by approx 5%. Will the Trib raise ticket prices to help
pay for expansion? Will a homerun out to Waveland be a thing
of memory? That change alone would decide my vote. I love
the Wrigley facade at Clark and Addison - dominates the
intersection and screams history. How will a massive structure
just to the left alter that perception? Sounds dangerous.
I don't think 5% is worth the risk to such a perfect place!

Comment: I am for the seat expansion if the rooftops can
still stay, but against the "mall". Wrigley needs more seats
and for those of you who say it will bring more congestion
think about it. The extra 2,000 that would be in the park
are probably already in Wrigleyville at a bar on game day.
The added seats around home plate was done tastefully and
most people can't tell the difference. I say if they keep
the same concept for the bleacher add-on Wrigley will just
improve.

to buy more good baseball payers. We;re almpost there ---but
not yet!Too many new comers are buying tickets now and its
getting hard for real fans like me to get them. I'd rather
pay twice as much but keep Wrigley as charming as it is.

done. The fact that I couldn't buy tickets to a game (unless
I pay $50-100 from a scalper) this season after tickets
had only been on sale for a couple days says something.
I don't think that the expansion will ruin the intimacy
of the park at all. If anything, adding to the bleachers
will make it more interesting. I want to be able to actually
see the Cubs play, and this will help.

part of the Wrigley experience hasn't watched a game from
the rooftop bleachers. The Cubs have no problem selling
out the stadium, so what's wrong with letting a few more
people watch from across the street? And why expand the
stadium? Fenway Park is tiny, but it's a geat place to watch
baseball. Those 50,000 seat mega-stadiums? Horrible. Plus,
the view of those bleachers and buildings across the street
is one of the great things about WF

Comment: Wrigley is a dump. Compared to what other ball
parks are like, it is unsanitary and decrepit. That being
said, it's OUR dump. Part of the feeling you get when you
go to a game there is because of the age. Perhaps it can
be upgraded and still left with enough of what makes us
all so sentimental about it. Don't be stubborn and not realize
change is good, but also don't wipe out the best parts.
The rooftops are fun, but not close to the real Wrigley
Experience. Don't touch the Ivy!

Comment: Hey MIKE and MARIO----are you guys still living
in a dark hole. The skybox and rooftops are now owned by
our CUBS. Read the papers you dummies. All 12 Neighbors
signed to give most of their profits to the Cubs so they
could look off their own roofs.Mcpahil is a greedy pig and
wants to spend a million dollars to crush the only smart
roofdowner who refuses to pay the Mobstertribsters. I hope
the Tribs lose although I hope the Cubs win. We should all
get together and buy the Cubs from Tribune Co.

games but the fact of the matter is that the park was there
before they were. Why did they move there in the first place.
I don't understand. The Apartments should absolutely pay
the Cubs. The Cubs should just move out of the neighborhood
and then lets see what their property is worth.

Comment: I would like to see more seating at Wrigley, but
that would just mean even more tickets are not available
to the regular fan. What needs to be done is for the Cubs
organization to weed out the casual fans who are just there
to be seen from the true blue Cub fans who actually go to
Wrigley to watch the game. Also, the Cubs should quit giving
tickets to their own brokerage (Wrigley Field Premium Tickets"
and release them fairly to the real Cub fans.

Comment: Most of you don't seem to understand the concept
of cause and effect. Adding seats would gain more revenue
in the short run, but eventually Wrigley would lose its
aura, the Cubs purists, and the tourists that flock into
the stadium. And what happends when the Cubs suck again?
There go the bandwagons. After these groups are gone, who's
left to fill the seats now? No one. The first step was cheating
the rooftop owners, the next is bleacher expansion. And
for what? Maddux? What a joke.

Comment: I'm writing a report for Freshman English on the
rooftop owners and how they should not have to pay the Cubs.
The Trib was too boneheaded to realize what a profitable
business the rooftops would be, and now they want in because
they see how much they could've made off the incoming bandwagon
Cubs fans. If you think the rooftop owners are turning the
tradition into big business, think again. My cousin owns
a building, and he's not even making much; but he's the
biggest Cubs fan you'll ever meet.

I meant that Ald Tunney and Mayor Daley seem happy that
the Tribune is giving back to Lakeview less then 2% of what
they are taking from the neighborhood. And I'm afraid Daley
doesn't see whats happening. All the politicians are afraid
of the Tribune and the damage their articles can do so these
politicians are kissing up to the Tribune in hopes for good
press. Is this why the judge let their scalping go? Tribune
is a SNAKE and will devour Chicago

brokers don't have a problem charging over face value. People
that don't like it have the option of not using the Cubs

people need to find a compromise with expansion if it goes
through. The Premium ticket brokers should give a percentage
to the homeless shelters around the city; as the city subsidizes
the expansion. The expansion money would be better spent
on helping our poor and homeless as this is, and will be,
the measure of a society not a ball field!

Comment: If the Pirates who run the rooftops - the same
ones who claim to speak for the neighborhood - win this
fight, it is a sad day. Let the pirates, who bring in a
lot of people - more people than the amount of extra seats
the Cubs want to add - start paying for a)use of the product
the Cubs produce and b)clean up and security for the neighborhood.
The Cubs have bent over backwards to appease these pirates...let
them start to pay.

NOT! Its already impossible to find parking in my own neighborhood
so why make it more impossible? Outsiders come to see Cub
games,litter our streets,urinate on our lawns and alleys
and why? Just to make more money for Big Brother Tribune!If
last 2 nights were indicative of things to come with expansion
and more night games then I say LET THE CUBS MOVE! Tribune
makes miilions on every game while they destroy our neighborhood

Comment: The expansion would not deter anything from Wrigley
Field. I would be against the exapansion if Mayor Dilly
Dally has his hands in it or the architects of the Monstrosity
of the Midway. Expanding Wrigley Field would allow more
fans to go to the games and from the looks of it, would
not block much of the view from the rooftops. I would like
to see something at Wrigley that Coors Field has with the
Rockpile where seats are $1/seat the day of the game and
are sold right before the first pitch.

Owners pays fifty times as much taxes as Cubs,and we contribute
to area. Tribune just takes! What Cubs are making in these
playoff games ($100 Million) would take them 50 years to
make if they expanded. Why bother? Its wonderful as it is.Its
History! The Cubs Shouldn't expand and the TRIBUNE should
pay the rooftops for adding to the beautiful atmosphere
of Wrigleyville. As Harry once said "Wrigley wouldn't be

Comment: I hate the congestion in the neighborhood, but
the amount of taxes that the Cubs generates for the city
is SUBSTANTIAL. An expansion would increase revenue which
in turn help reduce our future tax increases. And to lessen
the congestion that would be created, the city MUST create
an exit on Lake Shore Drive at Addison and expand Addison
to be fully four lanes from Clark to LSD. Rooftop owners
should NEVER pay the Cubs but they should not be able to
prevent the Cubs from upward expansion of WF.

Comment: I'm a White Sox fan, not a Cubs fan, but Wrigley
is the greatest stadium in the country. That, and the neighborhood,
is something the Cubs have that we don't. The rooftops are
part of that. And in an urban neighborhood like Wrigleyville,
people shouldn't be driving to games anyway... that's what
the L is for. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Wrigley is
great because it's an old-school ballpark. You can ONLY
make it worse by changing it. I don't want to bring up the
example of Soldier...

MLB game was at the "FRIENDLY confines." It was a great
family afternoon outing. I do not live in Chicago so do
not have any motives except that my Cubbies be the greatest
team in MLB. That is not measured by W's & L's but by attracting
the young LIFETIME fan. If they add 12 night games now they'll
add more later. Remember the other team has an = or greater

The City of Chicago draws tremendous tax revenue from the
Cubs directly and the businesses around Wrigley. Notice
the Mayor had no problem begging Springfield for the money
to build that worst ballpark in baseball on the South Side.
Now the Cubs want to expand THEIR stadium with THEIR money
and there is a problem where?? As for the residence I can
see why they would be against the parking garage $20 to
$30 a vehicle for parking in their yard.

Comment: I enjoyed Wrigley Field immensely on my last visit
and I believe that a sensibly undertaken expansion would
benefit the team in the sense that it would give more visitors
the chance to enjoy the team and city. I would be cautious
as to how it is done, and not infringe upon the neighborhood
too much, as that contributes to the atmosphere. It should
be limited to adding seats, not adding gimmicks or sideshows.

the way it is. The game was invented and designed to be
played in the afternoon, not at night with huge lights.
So what if pro athletes like to party and stay out late,
the rest of America has to get up and go to work in the
morning. If we can get to work by 9AM, they can get to work
by 12:30 or 1:05 or whenever game time is.

Comment: Expanding Wrigley would be robbing the nation of
a piece of history. Here in Chicago, we've got both ends
of the specturm with Wrigley on the North side representing
tradition and baseball's huge legacy, and Sox park on the
South side representing the new, the progressive, the move
into the future. I think that the Cubs should get a cut
from the rooftop owners, but I also think that they should
donate a % of their procedes into the surrounding community
to keep the community solid.

of all gate receipts to the Lakeview neighborhood, because
if they weren't here in this neighborhood there would only
be crowds of 20,000 instead of 40,000 fans. That means 50%
less revenue, so giving 10% to us would be a big saving,
Also I think that Cubs should pay the rooftops because they've
showed them on TV for years and Harry (who made the Cubs)
loved the rooftops Also one day a week should be free for

the Tribune Co. should build a massive "Cubs Land" out here.
In addition the the 90K seat "Megadome", build a huge Cubs
themed waterpark, picnic area, and rides. And for the adults,
a state-of-the-art hotel casino and niteclub Las Vegas style.
That would attract tons of people! I think it's possible.
Tons of land out here and no whiny residents. GO SCHAUMBURG

I'm sick of having to drive all the way into the city to

largest domed baseball stadium with a seating capacity of
90,000. As far as location, somewhere in Schaumburg would
be awesome! Also,I'd rename the team to the "Schaumburg
Cubs" (sort of like the Anaheim Angels). Has a nice ring
to it huh?Plus, all the people who live in the city can
escape out to the burbs!GO Schaumburg Cubs!

more even if he has to destroy the neighborhood to get it.
Rumor is that the Tribune is suing the roof owners and about
to sue the bar owners and parkibg lots for 1/2 of their
profits. Maybe sue the CTA next for part of the profits
from riders to the Park.Tribunes' motto should be "TODAY
LAKEVIEW--TOMORROW THE WORLD" Hey Tribune--sell our Cubs
to someone who likes basebell for the game!

Comment: I meant I wouldn't go to see the games if they
moved from Wrigleyville.Imagine-Trune has long pressured
to arrest scalpers and now have set of Premium Tickets so
they can charge 1000% more for their own tickets to us Cub
Fans.Mcquire and Mcfail sold be ashamed of themselves.Hoe
GREEDY and UNETHICAL can you get? Should they expand?Wrigley
holds around 40,000 fans and they want to ruin the atmosphere
just to get another 1000 more squeesed in. Correct Buildings

Comment: They already want to tear down Fenway. And Comiskey,
which used to be the oldest park in the country, is now
gone. And the White Sox clearly suck even with their new
park. So let's learn from that. Altering Wrigley will only
ruin the best baseball team in the world. Even if they are
in last place, the Cubs never run out of fans and support.
People will always come to the games. But if you change
the atmosphere, you run the risk of losing that faithful
following. And that can only hurt the Cubs.

Comment: The expansion of Wrigley Field must be done properly.
If none of the existing structure is removed, and if none
of the landmark features are altered, then it can be ok.
But by blocking the view of the rooftops on Wavelend Ave.,
the construction would in fact alter that famous aspect
of the park. It is part of the character of Wrigley Field
the same as the scoreboard and ivy. The Cubs are as much
a part of Wrigley as they are a part of baseball. If you
change the park, you change the team.

more cubs fans to attend games. I fill that without the
expansion The tribune will threaten to. do something drimatic
to the park. I.E the ugly green screens down left and right

Comment: The Cubs plans to expand Wrigley Field would irreparably
damage the park. The bleacher expansion would wrongly crossover
onto the streets and block out the frontages of the apartments
and some rooftops which are a part of the Wrigley mystique.
The Hall of Fame and other facilities behind the 3rd Base/Left
Field line stands would cast all of that seating on the
lower level into permanent darkness by blocking out the
rear light. Leave Wrigley as is and preserve baseball's
and the Cubs' history.

Comment: Wrigley Field should not be changed. Fenway Park
has already been messed up by putting seat at the top of
the Green Monster. If Wrigley Field is changed people will
stop going to games. People fly from all over the United
States to see Wrigley Field just as much as the Cubs. So
much money will be lost if this happens. If this happens
the Cubs will have to probably leave Chicago becasue they
are paying for this with tickets. Wrigley Field is the best

new state of the art FIRE & POLICE STATIONS. Build new multi-level
Parking Lots for both RESIDENTS & FANS. This could & would
lead to the Redevelopment & Rezoning of the affected outlying

best interest to eminent domain both sheffield and waveland
ave properties. This would allow the CUBS to expand the
bleachers most effectively and even create area's for bullpens
and tarps. Redevelop the district for better parking for
all involved. Now if the sox fan at the head of City would
work for the best interest of the City & County. Instead
of throwing good money after bad as they did in the SOX

even flown out there simply to see a game. But the Tribune
knows what draws people to their park and they won't do
anything to "ruin" the atmosphere of Wrigley. Baseball is
a business and going to Wrigley helps bring people in to
watch a usually "losing" team. Let them do what they want
with what they own. We live in a capitalist society so just

of compromise. If I were to choose a side, it would be with
the Cubs. If it were not for Wrigley Field, the rooftop
owners would have NO additional income. They are profiting
thanks to the Cubs product and should pay royalties and
commissions accordingly. Those commissions should then be
pooled towards players salaries. Another idea would be to
pay the royalty based on the win % of the team. Rooftop
Royalty = No expansion.

(and not just some friends on the roof), they should pay

are closer than some of the "cheap" seats in a lot of new

have been getting free product for too many years. Too bad
if they lose money on all those renovations to their building
if the Cubs move.

Comment: The time has come to change Cubs ownership. It's
time to demand that the Tibune Company sell the Cubs. The
Cubs will never win as long as the Tribune Comapny is running
the show. This is evident by the focus on expansion and
raising ticket prices as opposed to making the team better.
Let's return the joy and mystic of the Cubs to Chicago!

possible. they are messing with the intimacy of wigley for
less than a million dollars anualy(an washed up veteran)
wrigley is special because it is an intimate stadium, you
have the human scale whith those houses in the backroun.
if they expand wirgley they will lose that and wrigley will
lose some of its mistique. and that mystique is priceless.

is clear: Fire McFail and McIdiot (McGuire)! Nine years
are enough to know that these morons don't care about winning,
only lining pockets with more money. They're not talking
about winning next year, they're talking about licensing
rooftops. They draw 2.7 million fans, lose 95 games and
are only concerned with the 75,000 people who annually go
on the roof. Smart people know where their focus lies. McFail
is a joke and McIdiot is a sitcom.

can enhance Wrigley Field, without causing disruption to
the existing neighborhood bordered by Clark, Waveland, Sheffield
,and Addison would be welcome to this BASEBALL fan. We've
seen what can happen when something new can actually be
something less than expected. Having seen games at both
new & old Comiskey and Wrigley, there is no comparison,
the older parks win. And with this expansion, Wrigley will
stand for years to come.

buildings across from Wrigley to host mostly corporate events.
They were licensed and regulated by the City of Chicago
in 1998. These owners have paid taxes and have been active
members in the community. These owners have donated many
rooftop dates to non-profit organizations. These owners
have spent countless dollars to stay within the city code.
The rooftop guests are happy and spend a lot of money in
Chicago. The Trib Co.is a billion$ Co.

On the other hand, its about damn time the rooftops pay
for profiting of the Cubs. It is crazy that a ticket to
sit on the roof is more then any ticket inside the park.
Of course, none of this matters, since the dumn-ass players

2,000 seats a game is $30,000 a game or $2.4 million a year
(and that doesn't even consider the profit from the concessions).
The Trib owns Wrigley, not the neighborhood. The neighborhood
is livable and profitable because of the Cubs, and they
only want to leach off of it for their own good. There's
no give and take. The Cubs are paid for by the Trib. Rooftops
only want a free ride.

not expansion or rooftops, it is what are we going to do
about the increase in theft, litter and public urination.
I have no problem with expansion if we can control the people.
We just had our satelite dish stolen off our roof lasst
night. This is the latest of several incidents. Problems
seem to stem from night game crowds. If we can't control
it now, I can not be in favor of expansion.

Comment: Just a few questions and alternatives regarding
how to please everyone. 1. Why doesn't the Tribune Company
use a "local" engineering firm to work out acceptable design
alternatives with "the neighborhood? 2. For example, what's
wrong w/ a cantalivered approach to the columns in the sidewalk
issue? 3. How about (2) 90' by 120', full-color, LED walls.

Comment: If local residents want a museum, let the Cubs
move to a new suburb stadium more condusive to winning.
The wind wouldn't be unpredictable, more night games, increased
revenue to put back into the team, and better weather conditions
in general. This proposal to expand Wrigley increases the
revenue the Cubs can put back into the team while stepping
up to pay for it themselves as well as help fund increased
nighttime security. This sounds likea win-win to me and
will force them to move if not.

from a product someone else has created and established
for over 100 years. Back in the eighties people on the rooftops
were novel, now it is a business. The rooftop owners should
have NO say. Let wrigley field expand to help generate revenue
and keep ticket prices under control, obviously the Trib
is spending money making a winner now, even though it is
a down year they brought good players in. To hell with Daley
and the RTOA.

Comment: I think the Cubs should get at least some money
off the apartment buildings. Considering the fact that the
Cubs have put some coin into the landlord's pocket by making
the property worth more, they deserve it. But, to ensure
that the Tribune Company puts the money toward the ballclub
and not for polish for Tom Skilling's head, there should
be a clause that the Cubs don't collect the tax from the
area landlords unless they finish over .500 once every five
years. That sounds reasonable, to me.

outward and making sure the park will be around for many
years to come, if changes need to be made to do that then
so be it. I have attended at least 1 Cub game a year since
1969 and I usually always sit in the bleachers, maybe more
room will let more baseball smart people have a chance to
sit in the greatest seats there are and hopefully lessen
the amount of Yuppies and bimbo's who do nothing but talk
on their cell phones and ignore the game.

rooftops and the Tribune to compromise. The Cubs should
get a cut of the rooftop ticket sales, and the Cubs shouldn't
make changes to Wrigley that effect the view. By the way,
getting this to happen is more likely than Todd Hundley
getting more hits than whiffs.

the expansion of the bleachers over the sidewalks. Potential
for more trash pileup, pidgeons, less sidewalk to walk on,
and homeless people sleeping under the extended bleachers.
Wrigley is almost perfect the way it is, with some beuatification
it will be perfect, extension of the bleachers could just
make Wrigley lose some of it's mystique. Don't lose the

Comment: All that any of this boils down to is money. What
do the Cubs want to exapand? The bleachers. Why? Because
the bleachers always sell out. It costs $25 to sit in the
bleachers now, a significant increase from as little as
two years ago. The revenue that is generated by the organization
is easily in the top 1/3 of the MLB yet we never have a
top 1/3 team. I'm against field expansion if for no other
reason than to prevent others from sharing in my disease
of helpless Cubs fan, and there is no cure.

issue. I think they should pay the cubs...they are getting

Comment: The rooftops used to be just that...rooftops. A
few guys up on a roof of an adjacent building drinking beer,
and having a good time. At that point in time, noone was
making money off of it. Now people are making money off
of it, and it's not the people that should be making the
money. If anyone should be making money, it should be the
ones putting on the show (the Cubs), and not anyone else.

Comment: The Cubs should absoluetly be allowed to expand!
I don't know if it'll improve the atmosphere at Wrigley
or not, but I'd rather have 2000 more seats in the outfield
then a new ballpark in some crap suburb. And as for the
neighbors, the stadium was there BEFORE you moved in, right?
I can't move into a home and then dictate how late the corner
gas station stays open, can I? And as for the rooftop owners,
maybe I'll start sleeping in your building and not paying
for it. They'd never let that happen

Comment: The Wrigley expansion should proceed immediately.
Whiny neighbors sure don't complain when their property
values skyrocket because of the Cubs. As for the rooftop
owners, hell yes they should pay. They are effectively stealing:
selling admission to an entertainment property they don't
own and don't pay for.

to do whatever they want. Stadium Advertising does not offend
me either. Im there to watch the game not the ads.

Comment: Wrigley Field has been renovated a number of times
throughout it's history. What they want to do now is NOTHING
compared to the total reworking of the outfield walls in
the 30's. Go for it. Best as I can tell, it won't hurt it's
character , and may actually ad to it. As for the rooftop
owners paying, no way. They are a part of Wrigleyvlle and
it's charm. Bad PR by the Cubs if they try go do it. Pretty
damn petty, too. On the other hand, the RO's shouldn't be
allowed to charge people for seating.

Comment: I'm against it because where they want to build
the seats has been green as long as i can remember and well
frankly thats a part of this park, which is a part of history.
As for paying the cubs for roof top seats thats not up to
the cubs if the people of the buildings dont have them pay
the cubs they could have so that they couldn't use the rooftops
to view games any longer but apperently uncle andy doesn't
care so leave it be. Oh yeah take the link to dumb hundley
off he's coming around know.

Comment: Part of the thrill of seeing a Cubs game is Wrigley
Field. I think they could make some improvements as far
as safety concerns i.e. the sidewalks, etc, but to change
the appearance in a dramatic fashion would be like changing
the Sears Tower, or Buckingham fountain, or any other historic
Chicago landmark. As long as the "changes" are made in good
taste and discreet, then I'm all for it.

Yes ruin! It can't be that the Tribune Company needs the
money. Leave Wrigley the way God intended it to be.

Comment: The Cubs have the right to make improvements to
their ballpark to make it more profitable. Besides it will
only make it harder for opposing teams to play with 2,000
more drunks crammed into the outfield. What the Cubs should
not do is go out of thier way to disrupt the rooftops, these
places are a great part of the area and besides it is not
like there is an attendance problem for the Cubs.

oppose the stadium expansion obviously don't care if the
cubs EVER win a world series. Either that or they are dumb
as hell to think the cubs will be able to win a world series
without expanding the stadium.

Comment: The Cubs should be allowed to expand. They are
offering to do it at their own expense. Not like that "other"
team that held it's fans hostage, and could quite possibly
cost all taxpayers in this state $$. Daley should get off
his high horse and help the Cubs however he can. The resurgance
of Lakeview/Wrigleyville is directly attributable to the
Cubs. Just wondering what the lot at 1060 W Addison would
look like with a mall there instead?

the rooftop owners can add and make the changes they have
made to their buildings I believe the Tribune Co has the
same right to expand their property as well. It is time
to stop the rooftop pirates.

Comment: I think the rooftop owners are extremely selfish.
They do not realize the Cubs are a professional baseball
team and not a team in business to make them money. I support
the expansion which will allow the cubs owners to make more
money and therefore, better players will be on the field.
Tickets will be more affordable for the fans. The only people
who oppose the expansion are the few rooftop owners who
obviously don't care if the cubs ever win a world series.

Comment: Let's face it, Wrigley Field is not only an attribute
to the city of Chicago, but to the game of baseball and
American's in general. Thousands of non-Chicago residents
visit Wrigley every season and spend some serious coin while
here. Without this minor facelift, Wrigley Field as we all
know it today, may not be available for younger generations
to appreciate. Rooftop owners...you don't have anything
without the Cubs and Wrigley Field. Support the expansion
and let's share the experience!

Comment: Expand Wrigley - what's the big deal about a few
posts on the sidewalks of Waveland & Sheffield - the need
to fix up the sidewalks anyways. As for safety concerns
- wrigleyville seems to be one of THE safest places in the
city. Traffic concerns? If you live in Chicago who doesn't
have them. If your build it they will come...
