    Funny how there is more criticism of this on the Cubs official site than there is here. Looks like real Cubs fans can actually discuss the merits of this somewhere it might make a difference without just kowtowing to management on some amateur site. Nice non-affiliated "fan message board" — what are you people stuck in the 90s? Turns out YOU'RE THE ONES LIVING IN THE PAST.

    That's exactly the point — Take away Wrigley and the Cubs are just a team that hasn't won anything in 100 years.

    Since we're so "modern" here — If every fan has a smart phone why does any stadium need a video board showing updated stats in these "modern" times?
  4. OldCubby69
    Sure. Every season the players change. The ownership and uniforms have been changed numerous times of the years. So since 1916 — Wrigley Field has been the one constant which has defined the Cubs organization. People don't travel across the country to go to U.S. Cellular Field.
  5. OldCubby69
    Yeah — none of you have a problem with this. Do any of you even remember the protests at Wrigley over installing lights? You obviously don't care about the the architectural integrity of the stadium if you think a video board "looks cool." So you're basically just rooting for uniforms now — until they change those. I'm sure you wouldn't have any issues with that either, though.

    Wrigley Field has been determined eligible for designation as a National Historic Landmark by the Secretary of the Interior for 25 years. So yeah — it's "more than that."

    Anyone who supports this is not a real Cubs fan. I've been a lifelong fan and travelled hundreds of miles almost every season to visit Wrigley Field. You "modernize" and change what makes Wrigley different than every other stadium and it loses the character that has set it apart — making it no more than a ramshackle dump. It would be like taking an ancient, historic Cathedral and installing video boards in the style of a "modern" mega church. Idiotic. Good riddance to the Cubs. I hope they never win anything.
