January 12, 200422 yr I have no problem with the Cubs making some money off of the rooftop people. They're not inviting friends up on the roof to watch a game, they're building bleachers and charging 60 bucks and upwards ( FAR upwards ) per person to watch the Cubs' "product".
January 12, 200422 yr I'm surprised it took the Cubs this long. I agree that they should be seeing a piece of the action.
January 12, 200422 yr Author This is going to stop the Cubs hopes of adding 2000 bleacher seats though.
January 12, 200422 yr This is going to stop the Cubs hopes of adding 2000 bleacher seats though. Never was gonna happen as long as Daley is in the mayor's office.
January 13, 200422 yr Maddux money? I'm thinkin more Pudge money. Either way one of those is goin to da Cubs and one is goin to the O's in my opinion.
January 13, 200422 yr Author Maddux money? They are estimating it will make them about $2mil a year, hardly Maddux money.
January 13, 200422 yr I agree that the rooftops use the cubs product, but the mystique of that entire area makes wrigley cool.... the park itself isnt much to write home about. THe rooftops, murphy's bleachers, the redline is what makes that park special.. I think the cubs should watch their actions before that mystique gets pissed.

January 15, 200422 yr I remember the old days when it was just a few people with lawn chairs. It went from mystique, old school, and cool to crass commercialism. When the rooftops became auxilary seating; they get what they deserve. At least the roof top owners did not fake sell outs to up the price of their tickets. (I gotta slam them at least once)
