The Critic Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 I have no problem with the Cubs making some money off of the rooftop people. They're not inviting friends up on the roof to watch a game, they're building bleachers and charging 60 bucks and upwards ( FAR upwards ) per person to watch the Cubs' "product".

Queen Prawn Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 I'm surprised it took the Cubs this long. I agree that they should be seeing a piece of the action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 12, 2004 Author Share Posted January 12, 2004 This is going to stop the Cubs hopes of adding 2000 bleacher seats though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeportHeather Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 This is going to stop the Cubs hopes of adding 2000 bleacher seats though. Never was gonna happen as long as Daley is in the mayor's office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Maddux money? I'm thinkin more Pudge money. Either way one of those is goin to da Cubs and one is goin to the O's in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 Maddux money? They are estimating it will make them about $2mil a year, hardly Maddux money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I agree that the rooftops use the cubs product, but the mystique of that entire area makes wrigley cool.... the park itself isnt much to write home about. THe rooftops, murphy's bleachers, the redline is what makes that park special.. I think the cubs should watch their actions before that mystique gets pissed.

Texsox Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I remember the old days when it was just a few people with lawn chairs. It went from mystique, old school, and cool to crass commercialism. When the rooftops became auxilary seating; they get what they deserve. At least the roof top owners did not fake sell outs to up the price of their tickets. (I gotta slam them at least once) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
