In response to the Cubs’ proposed Wrigley Field renovations (“Cubs unveil Wrigley wish list, Team wants more night games, bleacher seats,” Page 1, June 19): Want more bleachers? Put up more bleachers. Want a mediocre restaurant to serve bleacher bums overpriced, assembly-line club sandwiches and Brie? Serve it up. Need premium seats? Build them. Want more night games? Schedule them.
But in-stadium advertising?
Please.
Is nothing sacred anymore?
If you’re going to tarnish a masterpiece, please do so without the broad-stroking brush of blue-chip corporate slugs, Tribune/Cubs.com included. The longstanding allure of Wrigley Field deserves at least that much.
I can hear it now, “Welcome to the friendly-skies confines of Wrigley Field.” Or, “Motorola left field stinks! Baby Gap right field stinks!”
At least we get to keep our ivy (our “Home Depot Garden Center ivy?”)
