Oh and that site is a dead link. I assume you meant this one: http://www.jersey101.com Yeah, that. #-o Those look pretty good, even if they are not actually jerseys. I'm thinking about ordering an away Bradley jersey...

Thank God this is finally over.

I went to Fenway two years ago and had seats in the middle of section 42, out in right field. They weren't bad. I liked the atmosphere around the park, while to me it's not as cool as Wrigley, it is still one of the best pre-game atmospheres in the league.

Sorry if this thread has already been made, but today I was over on Chris Creamer's Sports' logos site and I noticed that the Cubs have dropped the blue hats with red bills. Does anyone know anything else about this decision or when this happened? http://sportslogos.net/team.php?id=54 Anyways, I think that the Cubs have one of the best uniform sets in baseball (along with the Yankees, Tigers, and Dodgers). While I didn't mind the red-bills, I think that having the all blue hat is an improvement.

Looks like the stadium is coming along quite nicely. I can't wait to see it finished, especially considering how nice the skyline view will be: http://www.ballparksofbaseball.com/future/twins2007901.jpg

You haven't been paying attention to how the courts have redefined the concept of eminent domain, eh? I highly doubt the Cubs would consider it. First of all, a new stadium plan would be unpopular for the Wrigleyville area and for what ever neighborhood they would consider building it in. I assume the Cubs would want a Northside location, and the Northside is notorious for neighborhood associations. Condo developers have enough problems getting certain projects built, could you imagine the Cubs? These are powerful associations that have a good population in terms of income that would be able to take the Cubs to court if necessary. The case could even Supreme Court since this issue was recently resolved (and usually the more recent the decision, the more recent the Court would look at a case involving the decision), and with a more conservative bench, the Cubs would probably lose the case. Even if this didn't happen, I can't see the Cubs risking so much negative PR just to build a new stadium while replacing the much-beloved Wrigley Field. Besides, what would become of the old stadium?

I don't think that there is any way a new stadium would be built, except in the case of some large scale, unforseen disaster. Admitted, I have not from Chicago, but I have spent a good deal of time on the city and the Northside. I don't think that there is any possibility of moving the team to the suburbs. Almost all stadiums, including NFL stadiums, are built in central neighborhoods or downtown. I could not imagine how much controversy there would be moving the team outside of Chicago (especially to Schaumburg). Even if they would keep the team in the city, there's no way they would move the team south of Madison. Is there any land even avaliable on the Northside that is: a). big enough to support a large ballpark b). has viable public transportation (specifically a large capacity L stop) The only option is for the Cubs to continue to do extensive renovations on Wrigley Field, which I imagine the club will do.

I guess this would be a good first post: ALW Los Angeles Angels Oakland Athletics Seattle Mariners X (Comiskey) Texas Rangers X (Ballpark in Arlington, Fenway) ALC Chicago White Sox X (Comiskey) Cleveland Indians X (Jacobs Field) Detroit Tigers X (Jacobs Field, Comerica Park, Kaufman) Kansas City Royals X (Kaufman Stadium) Minnesota Twins ALE Baltimore Orioles X (SBC in SF, first time the two teams ever met) Boston Red Sox X (Fenway, Arlington) New York Yankees Tampa Bay Rays Toronto Blue Jays NLW Arizona Diamondbacks W (as well as Cinergy) Colorado Rockies X (Coors Field) Los Angeles Dodgers W (first baseball game of my life) San Diego Padres W (and in San Diego) San Francisco Giants X (AT&T Park, Coors Field, Cinergy) NLC Chicago Cubs WX (Wrigley, new Busch Stadium, final opening day of Cinergy) Cincinnati Reds X (Cinergy and Great America) Houston Astros X (Great America) Milwaukee Brewers X (Miller Park) Pittsburgh Pirates WX (PNC as well) St. Louis Cardinals X (Busch Stadium old and new) NLE Atlanta Braves X (Dolphins Stadium) Florida Marlins X (Dolphins Stadium) New York Mets Philadelphia Phillies X (Busch Stadium and Washington Nationals And for the heck of it...
