I am beginning to hate the Ricketts. Between how they are trying to put less games on WGN and now this. I can't really see it happening but still annoying.

The Cubs moving would be the best thing to ever happen to them and their fans.
Says a Cardinal fan.
They aren't going anywhere
Yep, says a fan of a team with 11 World Series Championships. I didn't respond to this to start a Cards/Cubs argument. About 8-10 years ago the Chicago Tribune ran a poll question asking Cubs fans if they would rather stay at Wrigley and never win a WS championship or move to a new park and win two WS titles within five years. Guess which one won? You guessed it, Wrigley Field and it was overwhelming. I love baseball history but if a ballpark like Yankee Stadium (a stadium with an actual winning tradition/ Ruth, Gehrig etc..) could get knocked down then Wrigley can go. It is time for a move.
This is a recent Rick Reilly article on this very subject:
Wrigley's ivy is choking the life out of the field - ESPN Chicago
It's not often I agree with a Cardinals fan regarding the Cubs, but this is one of those times. It's time for Wrigley to go. I love the history of the ballpark, but the park itself is a dump. Build a newer, more modern version of the park.
Renovating Wrigley is the obvious, right move.
