    pretty much, it's "oriole park at camden yards"... but camden yards is a neighborhood in baltimore. calling it sears park at wrigley field just seems completely redundant, basically it's just naming the ballpark twice. sorta like Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, eh?

    fixed

    Coors and Miller Park are not the same, as they have their product/logos emblazoned on every square inch of the place. Wrigley Field doesn't have a shred of corporate advertising anywhere outside of the name on the marquee, which isn't even the company logo

    i didn't realize that the old D-Rays GM was now running the Rangers

    Apparently showed up to Dodger camp weighing 240lbs.

    whatever "positive PR" a company could receive by buying the rights but keeping the name would be far exceeded by slapping their company's name on the park. let's say Old Style (for sake of argument) buys the rights. Initially, everyone will think it's an amazing move for them to keep the Wrigley Field name. But 2 or 3 years into the naming rights deal, people will forget, or not care, at which point Old Style is paying for a whole lot of nothing. No company would ever do what you guys are suggesting

    at least they didn't hire Joe Torre:

    who is this even in response to? #-o thanks, I would have missed that if it weren't for you i'm not convinced that wrigley23 is the equivalent of an AIM bot. it's just a computer program that occasionally posts something without regard to the rest of the posts

    so? i bet you hate Len and Bob for being so biased for the Cubs too Len & Bob are paid to do Cubs games, Musburger not so much i don't find any of these national announcers nearly as biased as you guys do (with the obvious exception of Dicky V). frankly, musberger, joe buck, etc. don't bother me one bit

    neat, two threads on this

    Just build it there with the bleachers up against the skyline. It would look amazing. Something about Wrigley bleachers and skyscrapers skyline doesn't seem to sit right with me. I'd have to see it to be sure though. If its apartments and condos, depending on the look of them (are they really tall, made of brick/stone or steel) I could totally go for it. quick and dirty (sorry for the black&white, but it's tough to find a skyline photo from the vantage point of that neighborhood) http://www.simleaguebaseball.com/derwood/wrigleycabrini.jpg

    Navigator from Michigan, Escalade from OSU, Segway and his own personal McDonalds from Penn State, Jobs for family in Oregon and condo plus guaranteed 38 minutes of PT per game basketball wise from Memphis. so whoever sweetens the deal with an iPhone and the new Dwyane Wade high-tops can seal the deal?

    news to me. are we any good?
  19. Derwood
    Tyrelle Pryor update?
  20. Derwood
    they've torn all the public housing down and have built stores and condos. You can now safely walk from Wrigley Field to downtown if you want (without having to stick to Lake Shore Drive).
  21. Derwood
    Yeah, it's all boho and crap now. build a Dominicks and the Infiniti's and Acura's will fill the streets
  22. Derwood
    no, but you can swear!

    Cabrini hasn't been a ghetto for at least 5 years now. it's pretty much Lincoln Park south now that it is yuppies in condos
  24. Derwood
    I'm with you. I wish they could just build a new stadium on the land where Cabrini is in the process of being torn down. Bring the beachers, bricks, scoreboard and the red sign, plant some ivy and build a stadium that can seat at least 50,000 and has parking around it. To hell with Wrigleyville. It's a bunch of obnoxious frat bars and arrogant, jerkfaced residents who act like living near the Cubs is a burden. i'm torn, but a part of me would secretly enjoy seeing the property value of all those brownstones drop like a stone when Wrigley is gone

    The only way this is true is if there really is no advertising value in having your name on a ballpark. it is true. NOBODY associates Wrigley Field with Wrigley Gum. I don't even associate the Wrigley Building with Wrigley Gum
