The Wrigley Field Renovation
Yahoo Sports has the details. Among them...
"The additions include more night games; a video scoreboard that could be twice the size of the vintage model in center field and advertising signage in the iconic bleachers that could block rooftop views; reconstructed concourses for fans and expanded clubhouses for the players; a hotel and new team offices across the street and increased parking."
Sounds good to me.
And this sounds good too...
"In exchange for Chicago taxpayers not taking a hit, the city will relax zoning and landmark restrictions and Cubs ownership will finance the project. A bureaucracy still needs to approve of specific plans, and the Cubs won't play games elsewhere while the changes are made, so the makeover will take years, and all of the plans are subject to change."
Sounds perfectly reasonable. I'm officially ignoring all belly-aching about this.
