I wouldn't want to see Elton throw a pitch, but Crane Kenney makes an interesting point. From this morning's Chicago Tribune...
"Not only will the Cubs host three concerts and open a new indoor-outdoor café in time for Opening Day, but there are more revenue-generating innovations to come.
"It's strange, because you see these people who are opposed to the concerts and they're Cub fans," Cubs Chairman Crane Kenney said Wednesday in a wide-ranging interview.
"This is going to sound odd, but Elton John's going to help us win some ballgames," Kenney said. "The CBOE [seat] auction last year paid for Rich Harden. The 'Road to Wrigley' game sponsored our Asian scouting operation.
"That's the way, from the business end, we look at these things. All these elements really help our business move forward. My view is if you're a Cub fan, you should enjoy the concerts whether you're an Elton John fan or not."
There's a photo of the cafe construction at the link above...
