suffering-nomore-sox fan Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Who was the first to have a filed named after their owner and his company? You got it...Wrigley as in the gum Field. Way back it ws changed. So when Cubs say we sold out remind them that their beer garden, I mean stadium is also named after a company.

DonkeyKongerko Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Who was the first to have a filed named after their owner and his company? You got it...Wrigley as in the gum Field. Way back it ws changed. So when Cubs say we sold out remind them that their beer garden, I mean stadium is also named after a company. That fits well into the "What's in a name..." speech. But wasn't it bought out by the Wrigley family and not the corporate entity known as Wrigley? I always thought it was named after the man which is different from corporate sponsorship.

cwsox Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Let's see: The Cubs play in Wrigley Field named after either a man or a company but do you think they were that stupid to not know they were building brand loyalty, marketing, and getting free advertizing by calling it the same name as the family's product? The "named after a man not a company" may be the original Wrigley Field bulls*** legend. If they wanted to name it after a man, they could have called it "William Field." No, they went for the product name - and as is true for Cubs always - pretended differently. The Cubs are owned by the Tribune Corporation whose motto is, World's Greatest Newspaper, and the Cubs are broadcast on WGN, "WGN" which stands for World's Greatest Newspaper, and WGN is owned by the Tribune, the Tribune which has raised the matter of building a syburban ballpark if the city won't given the Trib any zoning concessions to expand Wrigley, and anyone worries about what some f***ing cub fan says?

cwsox Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 imagine Sam-me Sosa pop-ups on AOL - probably pushing "performance enhanicng drugs legal in the Dominican Republic, and his own brank of Sosa rum in special hard to break bottles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 From what I've heard, Aol/Time Warner wants to sell and Ted Turner wants to buy the Braves back. The Tribune is supposedly considering quitting the biz as well to sell, but who to I don't have a clue. I know you can't have one person own two teams.

YASNY Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Personally, I don't care what any Cub fan has to say about it. I never believed that either park should be named for Comiskey, anyway. It means nothing to me that they sold the naming rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach23 Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 If the Trib buys AOL, then they will have two s***ty products that people have been brainwashed into thinking are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were president, I'd be writing speeches about cleaning up America, beginning with leveling Wrigley Field and putting their drunken fans into treatment centers.
