    No, 500 is the top level in the park. Upper Deck Reserved.

    Harang confirms that Dusty did indeed screw his career by sending him on a suicide relief assignment in San Diego back in 2008. http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22297882/27493695

    Nice to see that the old gal survived all of these (mostly) intact. They really need to overhaul the guts of the marquee - it's been blinking out on a regular basis for months, since early last summer at least.

    Yuck.

    As a fan who believes we can compete in the NL Central, I love this deal.

    Since when does an effort to expand the ballclub's revenue stream indicate a lack of "focus on baseball?" I think soccer is a [expletive] sport, but there is no risk here. Even a meager profit is better than no profit at all, and there's the civic benefit of drawing more people to Lakeview businesses and Chicago as a whole on a day when nothing would otherwise be going on at the park.

    Soccer was played at Fenway in the middle of the season last summer, and I don't recall any suicides because of the field's condition afterward. http://d.yimg.com/i/ng/sp/reuters/20100722/02/1923569997-celtic-sporting-play-friendly-soccer-match-fenway-park-boston.jpg

    Not watching, but I hope the Cubs make a nice haul.

    Hard to believe his number wasn't retired while he was alive. He was a long-tenured player who was the face of the franchise and actually played in the World Series.

    I'm happy.

    As time has worn on, Game 1 of the NLCS now bothers me more than Game 6. Florida melted in the first inning, but we couldn't capitalize. It should have been a sweep.

    Very, very classy of Mr. Ricketts to have the organization embrace Ron's services in such a manner.
  17. J.R.
    I had a fantastic time last year. I have no interest in autographs, so the freaks didn't bother me.

    Africa was stupid, and the lack of action on Dunn is absolutely inexcusable.

    You're quickly becoming my favorite NSBB novelty acct. "Grr...Ricketts...grumble...grumble..." I can't remember the last time I criticized the Family before yesterday.
  20. J.R.
    Colossal failure on the part of Mr. Tom Ricketts. This is [expletive].

    The compromised football sightlines at Wrigley didn't keep the Bears from selling tickets, and similar setups in Milwaukee, San Francisco and San Diego thrived. Ryan Field wins on sightlines, but Wrigley wins on accessibility from the city and desirability - Wrigleyville is a far better pre/post hangout than the NU campus. Football fans like the neighborhood just as much as baseball fans. I think the Cubs were inspired to go forward with football despite the rules setback dealt by the Big Ten. NU could happen again, and they might get ND to come once in a while. A Big Ten title game is a pipe dream so long as Soldier Field is a candidate. Long-term, it is conceivable that the family would look to a full-time college football partnership to help finance improvements to the park. Schools with far less revenue potential than DePaul and UIC have started D1 college football programs in recent years.

    Help me understand why the game angered you.
  24. J.R.
    Sooner or later they will modify the infield stands and get the room they need. There is too much money to be made to stop with tonight. Why did the game anger you so? If you would bother to read the thread, you'll see that Northwestern personnel approached the Cubs about the game in the days immediately following the Winter Classic. Throwing Randy Bush into this makes you look like a buffoon.

    I thought the park looked great. We won't have to wait 40 years for the next football game at Wrigley.
