    I'll never forget what theo, maddon, jake, tony and javy did, but man those final years were so frustrating. what we've been through is in no way a curse or drought, but it had been long enough that I felt a tremendous weight lifted yesterday.

    meh, I don't want to see the park as a war zone for parts of multiple seasons. just close up and get it done fyi, the Red Sox haven't done anything to Fenway on the scale of what we're talking about

    I agree, I just hope they don't eliminate the pillars and put the upper deck in another time zone
  6. kycubsfan
    I just wanted to say that I agree completely with you guys

    that's quite a reach, most everyone appreciated those changes (as they did the '89 skyboxes and '06 bleacher expansion) seeing as how they only served to improve the park. why are you so passionate in your attack on 'tradition' and 'history'
  8. kycubsfan
    history matters to some of us lol it does!
  9. kycubsfan
    ok we're cool

    why not? PK was a nut, but WW Jr won plenty of pennants, was the first to recognize the genius of Veeck and was responsible for turning a dinky Federal League park into one of the most enduring symbols of sport oh never mind, I forgot that you hate the ballpark. we'd be better off if the Cubs and Bears had moved into a dome together back in '72

    it's plenty recognizable, it just makes you think of the man moreso than it does the properties had Atlanta been an example of modern naming rights conventions the name would have changed shortly after Time Warner took control
  12. kycubsfan
    a park named for a newspaper would be silly parks named for colorful owners who left a mark on the game (August Busch, Will Wrigley, Ted Turner) are cool. Busch has since paid to keep its name alive, time will tell what happens to the rest
  13. kycubsfan
    you missed the point the examples you cite are instances of companies putting their most recognizable names on the parks, of all the entities within Turner Broadcasting the actual "Turner" part (a signboard company) is the least recognizable had Turner put up money for the name it would be dubbed "TNT/CNN/TBS Park" or somesuch

    history matters to some of us
  15. kycubsfan
    clearly corporate, they paid for that (i'd say it's underutlized there) there are no naming rights deals in place at Turner or Wrigley
  16. kycubsfan
    it isn't, they call it The Ted, not "Turner Broadcasting" park it's clearly a tribute to the man himself, there's no Turner corporate signage on the park's facade the wrigley name is similar, you don't see the doublemint arrow out front. the twins were on the scoreboard at one time, but that was an separate advertisement in of itself big difference between these http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/broncorocks1/ChaseField3.jpg http://www.stadiumpage.com/tropicana/TropMarquee.jpg and these http://www.gotfootagehd.com/thumb/HD-006/HD006-073.thumb.jpg http://www.conceptsremembered.com/images/TurnerFieldLg.jpg

    i like zell, but mlb should not allow this franchise to be gutted at his whim. they should use his sox connection as an excuse to step in
  18. kycubsfan
    i would appreciate this more if I didn't get the games anyway on the internet/satellite
  19. kycubsfan
    Are you sure it wasn't in '97? The '96 window-breaker was definitely a day game. Sammy hit a walk-off against LA on Sunday Night Baseball in August '97. A bright moment in an otherwise lame campaign.
  20. kycubsfan
    It's funny but I remember that too. Didn't that break a window too? Yeah, it was against the Mets early in the year. Harry loved it.
