I disagree...there would of course be angry fans venting frustration, but they would be the vocal minority. I think the majority of Cubs fans are smarter than they are made out to be, as evidenced by the response to stripping the team down and beginning a long term rebuilding plan. Moving the Cubs away from Wrigley Field would not be the ideal solution for anyone, but the Cubs have the ability to manipulate the media and outline their side of things. Some people would see right through it and know that the Cubs arent actually going to leave Wrigley, some be opposed to leaving Wrigley but would understand why the Cubs feel like they need to explore other options, some would flip out and call the Score and bitch about it every day, but I don't think there would be riots at the Cubs offices or anything. Now if the Cubs really did leave Wrigley, that might be a different story. But driving to Addison and looking at potential locations wouldnt be *that* big of a deal. Edit: And I believe there is some sort of precident in the mid-90's when the Red Sox were exploring the possibility of building a new ballpark in South Boston. There was opposition but I don't recall anything dramatic, and this is Boston we're talking about. Could be wrong though, I just remember reading about it awhile ago.
