Toyota Sign

The Landmarks commission approved the Toyota sign at Wrigley Field, but it still might not happen.

I've gotten quite a few e-mails from fellow Cub fans at Just One Bad Century, outraged by this potential sign. I just can't seem to conjure up any emotion about it.

Maybe it's because every other renovation done to the park the past few years has turned out just fine, despite dire warnings about destroying the sanctity of Wrigley. The sky didn't fall, and the ballpark still looks great. It's just a sign. Yes, it's an ad, but does anyone really care about the Under Armour ads on the doors in the outfield? Remember what a big deal that was going to be?

I suspect this will be just fine too.
