    That's really it. As long as those things are intact (I would include the bleachers, but since they were just renovated, I don't see it being an issue), and any renovation is congruous, the rest doesn't matter. The grandstands/bathrooms/concourse are not charming, they suck. Seeing that the bleachers were just renovated and the field replaced, we aren't going to see a new stadium in the near future. So significant improvements are going to have to be made. Yeah, the great Wrigley grandstand project is approaching. Only question is what to do with the Cubs when it's happening. Why do they have to do the whole thing at once? They did the bleachers in one off season. Just do part of the grand stands for 3 or 4 years. I think to do it right, it needs to be done at once. First, they need to redo the seating bowl to get rid of the many poles. Secondly, the concourse areas could use a serious face-lift. Finally, they are going to want to create more space for suites. I think it's a massive undertaking that is going to require at least a season, maybe more in another location.

    I think one of the biggest steals in the draft could be Jamaal Charles. He may last until late second, early third round. And I think he could end up being one of the top three backs that come out of this draft. The depth of RB in this draft is ridiculous.

    I thought MLB required four regulars in every game. :shock:

    Seriously, what the hell? That guy needs to be institutionalized

    I think if he stayed healthy, Lito is a better CB than Samuels.

    NFL Network reporting that the Eagles are shopping Lito Sheppard.

    I think it is a little much as well.

    Pierre Thomas started ahead of Mendenhall, right?

    awesome, I'm not the only idiot this round. (Rocketman took Phillips back in round 3) Well, damn! I'll take Hideki Matusi then.

    Things that I would love to see retained if Wrigley is renovated or a new stadium is constructed: bricks and ivy, outfield scoreboard, marquee. On the other hand, it would be nice if a new stadium or a renovated stadium did not have so many poles that block the view. Watching a game from the 200 level seats can be a pain. First it's quite common for a pole to block view of part of the field and it's nearly impossible to track the flight of a fly ball from those seats. Some of the same problems exist in the upper levels of the upper deck as well. While all stadiums have some sightline problems, Wrigley has a significant number of them.

    Early reports had Asante Samuels going to the Saints, but now it appears the Eagles are the front runners for his services.

    Cowboys re-signed Flozell Adams. I'm hearing it's a six year deal, but I haven't gotten word on the specifics. The Rams released Issac Bruce. He's getting up there in years, but he's still a good reciever if someone is looking. Also, it looks like word out of Cleveland is that if Derek Anderson regects the Browns' latest offer, the team is fully prepared to take a 1st and 3rd for him and would not match any offers that he receives.

    Is he the kid we got from the Braves? yes

    I hope Ascaino does well. I liked him when he pitched for Mississippi.

    Does Fontenot's HR mean we don't need Brian Roberts? :lol:
  23. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Lix!

    I really hope the Cubs hit this well when the regular season begins.
