July 27, 200421 yr Cubs order net to catch falling Wrigley chunks The Cubs have ordered a safety net to catch falling concrete at 90-year-old Wrigley Field, sources said Monday, as a Stickney couple accused the team of misleading fans about the timing, severity and response to the third incident in a six-week period.
July 27, 200421 yr Oh but there's no problem there... I just think I found a reason to go to Wrigley, so I can sue the Cubs and the city of Chicago...
July 27, 200421 yr Author If only they could attract bigger crowds, they would have the money to repair the relic.

July 27, 200421 yr I can't believe the Tribune Company would take such a stupid risk just to make some more money that they don't even need.( Then again it is the Tribune Company)
July 27, 200421 yr I can't believe the Tribune Company would take such a stupid risk just to make some more money that they don't even need.( Then again it is the Tribune Company) You'd be surprised what a company will do after reading a CBA. See the Ford Pinto if you need an example.
July 27, 200421 yr See the Ford Pinto if you need an example. I watched a couple of them race over the weekend. It's amazying the speed those can get when souped up (and one of them just had a 351 cleveland in it and NOS).
July 27, 200421 yr I can't believe the Tribune Company would take such a stupid risk just to make some more money that they don't even need.( Then again it is the Tribune Company) If I were the Tribune Company, I'd let the crowds in and let the concrete fall. Hell, none of those places were built to last 1,000,000 years. Yankee Stadium was falling apart before it was shut down for total renovations. Comiskey was beginning to crumble. Tiger Stadium is crumbling. And Wrigley, Comiskey, and Tiger (Briggs/Navin Field) were all built at about the same time, Comiskey being the oldest. But if I were Trib Co., I'd be looking at an antiquated stadium I could not expand that is undersized and also a historic landmark protected by law and a shrine to a bunch of drunks. One either has to keep operating it... or.... let it fall apart so the city moves in and Daley does shut it down and then the Tribs says, what can we do? We have to build a new park... and the blame is not on the Trib anymore, it was circumstances beyond their control They are probably clapping at every board meeting every time a piece of concrete falls and delighted with every story in which the city speaks of it being unsafe.

Sad. And true.
July 27, 200421 yr Sad. And true. Sad? Sad? If the Trib wants to build a new stadium and raise a lot of money, they should auction off the "blow up Wrigley" rights, I'd certainly get some action in that. as our most prolific poster says: Blow it up!
July 27, 200421 yr Cubs order net to catch falling Wrigley chunks They're more worried about some of their fans getting corked on the head and having enough sense knocked into them that they stay away from the park than getting shut down by the mayor or anybody else.

I meant that it's sad that the Trib will do what you suggest, not that it's sad that it go away.
July 27, 200421 yr Maybe they can put a net in their dugout to catch the team as they fall in the standings!!! Nyuk Nyuk! Hope someone didn't already say this joke.
