Wrigley Renovation Thread

[Guest]

For a frozen pizza you just stick that [expletive] right in the rack. Nothing additional needed.

Only if you want to clean the cheese off the bottom of your oven on a regular basis.

 

What? You definitely do not need anything but the pizza and the rack.

You must buy different frozen pizzas than me. The ones I usually get have cheese all the way out to the edge of the pizza. During cooking there's usually a bit that comes off the side of the pizza and sticks to the foil. Without the foil, it would drip to the bottom of the oven.

 

I guess if you're getting pizzas with a thicker crust border it wouldn't be an issue.

Yup. Horrible dereliction of duty by local government, too. RT @joe_sheehan: Like Botoxing the Mona Lisa. pic.twitter.com/8sWFmHX7Fj

I rarely pay attention to him. Is Olbermann even a Cubs fan or does he simply think Wrigley should be maintained as an unblemished shrine to the detriment of the Cubs?

I find it a little ironic that Olberman at times this year has ripped both Selig and BBWA (pretty sure Neyer has ripped them during HOF voting) for being archaic, living in the past and not adapting to modern times yet he criticizes an organization for renovating a a relic of a stadium to bring it up to pretty much just the basics of modern standards.

The Rooftop request for an injunction was pretty emphatically denied. http://www.bleachernation.com/2015/04/02/court-denies-rooftop-request-for-injunction-suggests-cubs-have-winning-arguments/

 

Guess 'we didn't really mean X when we signed the contract for X' wasn't convincing, who knew

Deadspin shared that sentiment as well and they would be the first to mock people who think it is about something other than money. The writer claims his sitelines are ruined. He's also not a Cubs fan.

I'm not shocked that they're trying to make more money, I just think that turning a ballpark unlike any other into a place with giant TV screens in place of clear blue skies is a bad, stupid idea. If it makes you happy to have the views and experience offered by the ballpark ruined so that some random [expletive] can put more money in his pocket, bless your heart.

Prepare to hear a lot of mocking. Lights were at least 15 years late and so are these upgrades. Not the fault of the current ownership but the team has always managed to make itself a very easy target. 100 years hasn't helped either.

OMG CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE BLOCKING THE VIEW OF A ROOF WITH AN ADVERTISEMENT ON IT WITH A SCOREBOARD WITH HIGHLIGHTS AND INFORMATION ON IT

This so much.

 

The worst thing about the sport is the fans and media that refuse to allow it to grow with the times. It's part of the reason I was actually fine with the idea of leaving Wrigley. Let it be a museum for those that care that deeply, and build something nice and modern for the rest of us.

 

That said, I love what they're doing, and screw everyone that doesn't like it out of some knee-jerk "oh they're ruining it" nostalgia.

[Sammys Boombox]

I hope the tarp has a rectangular cover that looks like a Reynolds Wrap box.

And once it is unrolled, it can never fit back into the box again no matter how hard they try.

 

Haha. In all seriousness if Reynolds Wrap has like a retro 1950s box that could be used as the design I actually really like the idea.

Yea Tom Ley has been getting pretty obnoxious with the Wrigley stuff.

Concrete forms already being mounted in LF...shouldn't long before that side stops looking like a skeleton.

Yea I'm actually digging the board so far.

[Guest]

It's hard for me to separate it from the construction site that is the bleachers, but I know it's going to look awesome in a couple of months.
