Wrigley Renovation Thread

[Banedon]

Ok. Enough of the strip club stuff.

[ctcf]

A lot more of you have been to Ohio strip clubs than I would have anticipated.

sadly the dayton swim club building has been abandoned for a few years now

apparently there is not enough bleach in the world to get another business to move in there.

A federal judge last week granted a request by owners of Wrigley rooftop businesses to withdraw their lawsuit against the city of Chicago and its Landmarks Commission, which sought to throw out the panel's decision allowing the Cubs to install its outfield signs.

Not exactly renovation related but apparently the Cubs tried to get the Mayweather Pacquiao fight at Wrigley

little metal support things are going in for the benches in left center

 

those things were actually protected in the landmarks reviews, iirc

Are they still going to be green? Do they just spray the whole thing afterwards?

As opposed to the concrete being poured with green dye or something?

 

Yeah, I'll imagine they'll be green.

 

edit - wait, you mean the concrete, not the benches, right?

 

i don't think that's green or has been since at least the reconstruction?

Yeah I meant the concrete. It's been green for as long I can remember.

This makes it look like it's green in some places, not green in others.

That photo makes it look like the green paint has worn off. Really weird.

[Guest]

whatever the case, if it does wear off like that, it makes even less sense to paint them because it looks like [expletive]. looks fine with the concrete and green benches.

[fivepercent]

I think just the riser part is painted green so the ball is able to be seen easier.

in the far left-field section behind the board, are those the stairs? seems kind of awkward to have those in the front of the stands, and potentially dangerous given that will be dong city come june

Hopefully not. Those don't look wide enough to fit more than one person. Are they putting stools or something down there?

Huh? They look wider than the aisles between the benches.

 

I'm guessing they're putting something below the bleachers there.

May be a SRO area

May be a SRO area

 

with no view of the field?

Depending on how deep it is you could be looking over the board, like at Camden Yards:

Is [expletive] Tee really considered a slur?

 

Edit- If the filters on NSBB didn't pick it up, I think its okay.

Edit 2 - I guess I spelled it wrong, and the censor did pick it up. Not okay again.
