Has anyone actually looked up Wrigleys dimensions? Turns out, it's pretty damn symmetrical Left Field - 355 ft (108.2 m) Left-Center Field - 368 ft (112.2 m) Center Field - 400 ft (121.9 m) Right-Center Field - 368 ft (112.2 m) Right Field - 353 ft Idk, seems like such a stupid argument to be having.
-
I agree. I also love that stadium.

Left Field - 330 feet (101 m) Medium Left-Center - 360 feet (110 m) True Left-Center - 375 feet (114 m) Center Field - 400 feet (122 m)* True Right-Center - 375 feet (114 m) Medium Right-Center - 360 feet (110 m) Right Field - 330 feet (101 m) Backstop - 55 feet (17 m)

I think Soldier Field is a federally-designated landmark, whereas Wrigley is a Chicago landmark. right, Wrigley is eligible for the national trust where as SF was on it, but it has been removed.
-
The committee "controls" very little. A good design team can work around all of that. As for SF, I said extreme example for a reason.
-
Umm, have you tried to build ANYTHING in the last 15 years? There are always committees. Besides, Wrigley is only restricted on a few of its historical pieces, such as the ivy, scoreboard and I believe the exterior marque. There is plenty that can be done to it without upsetting "the committee". If you want an extreme example, look at what was done with Soldier Field which had a very simular designation
-
I don't think you know what you're talking about
-
ohhh, just you wait. I don't remember which designation Wrigley has with the NTHP, but it would certainly be something they need to consider in the design process. And forget tearing it down, that will likely never happen with its designation.

it's not that it needs to be heated, curing concrete creates heat on its own. The issue is that while concrete cures, it needs to be kept wet. The water used to keep it wet needs to be kept from freezing. That's why you temper a space that is receiving a pour. Admixtures help too. but yea, they pour in pretty cold temps in MPLS, they can do it in Chicago too. I have worked a lot of construction in my life and from personal experience you can pour concrete in some really crappy weather conditions, including very cold. It probably needs to be covered to trap in the heat while curing also. well, yea, that's what I'm saying.

Seems skinny on the trade to NY
