True Cubs fans care more about World Series win than name
A true Cubs fan will wish at anything that will help the team be competitive and win the World Series. As a lifelong Cubs fan for more than 30 years, I have seen so many disappointing years and am tired of hearing “wait till next year” and “this is our year,” only to be disappointed.
Yet our rivals on the South Side and in St. Louis have both won the World Series and have new modern ballparks.
If selling the naming rights will help modernize that old, decrepit ballpark and help the Cubs be more competitive in salaries, a true fan would say, yes, go for it.
The name of a stadium and an old ballpark should not be the reason why we are Cubs fans. It is because of the team. We have never won the World Series under the Wrigley name.
I support the Cubs and changing the name, as long as it is not White Sox Park. If the protesters don’t agree that a winning team and a World Series victory are more important than a name change, then they are not true Cubs fans.

Name doesn’t matter
People! People! People! It’s not a national monument. It’s not one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It’s a ballpark! Get over it!

Cubs deal
Who would want to buy the Chicago Cubs without owning Wrigley Field? It doesn’t make any sense. — Don Smith

Name change fine
I see nothing wrong with Sam Zell bringing in more revenue by selling the naming rights to Wrigley Field.
The White Sox did it with Comiskey Park and won the World Series.
Who wouldn’t want to hear and see the following: “Welcome to Portillo’s Wrigley Field. Home of the 2008 World Champion Chicago Cubs”?

What’s in a name?
If Wrigley Field becomes Zell Field, will the Cubs be known as the Zell Field Follies?
