Comment: The expansion plan is terrific, as well as neccessary.
I would like to see them add on the West side, where there
is moderate parking now, a 10 story multi car parking ramp,
that annexes to the stadium for easy access and exit. I
understand they are considering such at the McDonalds lot
directly across the street ......where , and however........get
parking facilites on the priority list

Comment: Biggest problem is additional 1,800 seats-how will
they get there? Traffic is jammed, trains are packed, are
the cubs going to build a nonstop feeder ramp to 90/94?
I love this ballpark and part of neighborhood, but it was
built in an era with fewer people in an area not designed
for huge stadiums. There is NO DIRECT expressway access
(Lake Shore is a restricted use & speed road with stoplights!)
What fan doesn't love Wrigley the way it is? This is about
profits, not fans.

the country and have not seen Wrigley. This is strange considering
I only live a short drive away. It is only since a native
chicgoian friend comes to vist often I will have a chance
this thursday to come and see the great Wrigley stadium
home of the chicago cubs. Thanks, David Graves

Comment: even if the cubs did increase their revenue with
the expansion, how can we be sure that they will put at
least a good portion of that into salaries and players.
they never have before so what makes you thinnk that they
will now. they are ruining the tradition of wrigley field
just for their own profit, becuase hey, dont billionaires
need the money? the greedy bastards.

from the rest of the major leagues. len kasper's extreme
blandness is beaten only by bob brenly's lack of baseball
knowledge and his cornyness. the expansion is complete crap.

Comment: This expansion(with private funds)will allow one
of the true gems of baseball to remain viable,and for the
Cubs to remain there. I understand the complaints of Wrigleyville
residents,however might I respectfully submit that they
were there first. The Cubs have been neighborhood residents
since 1916. As for the rooftops,a few lawn chairs weren't
a problem. When you need structural steel to construct bleachers,and
charge admission,then it becomes something more than catching
a game(which it has).

Comment: As a lifelong cub fan, and beer vendor at Wrigley
Field for the past several years it is quite obvious that
from time to time Wrigley will need to be renovated and
expanded. My grandfather went to games in the 20's when
the park was completely different. All good things change
with time. Its obnoxious to think that Wrigley has reached
its peak, and we shouldn't mess with it. The neighborhood
can go to hell. Anyone living in those neighborhoods knew
what they were getting into.

Comment: Looks nice, as long as it doesn't change the face
of the stadium much ... As for bleachers ... the Cubs should
not expand over the sidewalks (or close Waveland or Sheffield)
without compensating the owners of the adjacent buildings.
Those people bought there because of their location; they
deserve their share of the street/sidewalk/view in its current
form; they have the right to stand on their roofs with their
friends. We shouldn't tax sight, and we shouldn't give Tribune
Corp free reign

Comment: I don't really think they should expand Wrigley.
I do like that they are going to attempt to keep it looking
the same, but I don't see why they are messing with a good
thing. Wrigley is the oldest park in the NL and it represents
tradition. Something Cubs fans know about. This expansion
is just an effort to make more money for the owners. It
is the same thing attempting to charge the rooftop owners.
Why change something that has always been this way?

Comment: I don't think some of the people that are posting
on here realize is that the damned resturant is underneath
the bleachers. It will not be visible from the field. As
for the expansion of the bleachers, it will add 1-6 rows.
That is not a big change. As for the building next door.
..I'm not wild about that, but if it means that they don't
have to turn the outfield into a giant ad, then go for it.
Also, the rooftop owners should have to share revenues from
their skyboxes across the street.

Comment: As long as they don't make Wrigley Field look like
the new Soldier Field, I'm for it. I don't understand why
the neighbors with rooftop views think they should be able
to watch the Cubs for free, LET ALONE make money by selling
seats. If I lived across the street from a strip club and
could see in their window, wouldn't they have the right
to obstruct my view? You bet. The Cubs ought to buy the
houses with rooftop views & sell tickets themselves. If
the owners won't sell, block their view.

Comment: This whole bleacher extension/destroy tradition
plan is a scam.Wrigley Field is loved for being one of the
best stadiums for a reason, be cause it maintains the old
baseball feel. There is no reason what so ever to have a
frickin restaurant in center field, what is this Comiskey?
And you don't need a shopping mall to create more revenue.
Build on the team and they will bring in the money, not
a ritzy parking lot and mall. Wrigley needs to stay Wrigley.

it is the best stadium in all of sports - because it's not

It is a landmark and the ways in which it flies in the face
of all current stadium trends is part of its charm. Please
leave it as it is, Tribune Company...I want to Wrigley to
look the same way when I am 70 as I did when I first went
there as a little kid. Some things should never change -

them think that they are going to go after the top free
agents on the market when they really never even care.This
year they were never gonna go for beltran or magglio, they
just make it seem like they care by saying that they dont
have the money.all the money they should be using for improving
the team goes into the funding for their ballpark expansion
so that they can make a few extra $.

The plans are tasteful and in line with the historic architecture
of the park. This is not going to necessarily draw MORE
people to the Wrigleyville area during a game, but rather
get more people into the park and out of the bars.

is very little advertisement in view once you get to your

elsewhere in the stadium holds off the addition of ads on

Comment: I agree with Wrigley needing more seats. It's hard
to get tickets and every extra seat helps. As for the "freeloaders"
who sit on the roofs,i hope your view is completely blocked
for good. If you want to watch the game buy a ticket like
the rest of us!

Comment: Why not allow more Cubs fans to see the game in
person? It seems really odd that someone who happens to
own a house nearby, has any say in this at all. So go for
it and it's too bad you can't add 10,000 seats--what a might
roar that would make!

Comment: I think the expansion is a great idea. I think
so of you are forgetting that Wrigley Field has been expanded
many times since it began as a 14,000 seat stadium. What
if Wrigley didnt add lights for night games? The new homeplate
seats are the best seats in the houe. In order to stay comepetitive,
the Cubs need to generate revenue to stay competitive with
all the teams with new stadiums that can seat 45,000+. Yankee
stadium seats almost 60,000 and they generate almost 300
mil in revenue.

Comment: I LOVE ballparks, and think that Wrigley and Fenway
are at the top of the list in all they contribute to the
experience. That being said, I don't live in the past, and
I like changes that improve the experience. Like the Green
Monster Seats at Fenway. Brilliant. I think this Wrigley
expansion -- bleacher seats, pedestrian promenade, and all
-- will be fantastic. If they keep in the style of the architecture
and neighborhood, adding ivy and brickwork, it will be a
beautiful thing.

Comment: They should tear that old dump down. Then build
a new stadium away from there. I know Wrigley brings joy
to baseball fans but it is really one of the reasons that
the Cubs don't win. Give the area back to the locals and
all you will have is a bunch of taverns. You can't play
the majority of games in the daytime with all of the traveling
that is needed. As far as the product that is out on the
field that is the property of the Trib and the roof-top
owners should pay.

Comment: Go for the expansion. Now if the city and the local
people don't like the Cub's plan then the Tribune should
dump Wrigley and build a new stadium. A brand new stadium
would generate more revenue with the parking fee's that
the Cub's should be taking in instead of the lack of parking
that Wrigley presently has. Let the rooftop owners watch
the old ball park. Give the neighborhood back to the people
that are alway's complaining about the excessive amount
of day games.

attached to it. That makes it just like all stadiums these
days. The new outfield bleachers don't bother me as much
as the retarted fucking shopping mall out front. It won't
look like the old ballpark that it is. If they want to fix
up the outside a bit, cool but don't ruin it.

spend only 20% of what they're paying Sosa--to put up a
litle park and a few other nothing prizes. --If you're going
to sell out neighorhood out for money--why not make it a

Comment: The Cubs convention was great and we don't care
if the Cubs neighborhood is ruined as long as the Cubs win
which is the important thing. They should rip all the buildings
around the Park down so the Cubs and Owners can make more
money because they are the best and I don't work for the
Tribune like the last 3 cammentors. What if the Cubs Owners
lie and cheat and steal just to make more money? wouldn't
you? I wouldn't even come to Chicago if it wasn't for the
Cubs. Who cares about Chicago? NO ONE!

on for revenue and probably help create more jobs and more
sanitized bathrooms (something wrigley badly needs).

the street, ending their feud over stadium expansion by
taking 17 percent of their neighbors' profits. Then they
turned around and announced they wanted to expand and block
the owners' views, anyway. Sometime next month, their little
ticket-scalping scam, the bait-and-switch they pulled on
the fans, figures to be in appeals court."Thanks again Mr.
Couch. Our fellow fans must know the Tribune is robbing
us!

They did it because they knew they could squeeze it out
