I wonder why they think Cubs fans would revolt if they tore down that scoreboard. I bet a good percentage of people in the stands have no idea what it even is.

Iwritecode Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 It's been quite a few years since I've been to Wrigley but the last time I went it was for a Cubs/Astros game. I wasn't real familiar with the players on either of the teams and I didn't have a scorecard or a program to look up their numbers. The fact that the scoreboard only showed numbers rather than names made it 10 times more difficult to keep up with the game. Especially when a substitution was made. It finally made me realize why so many Cubs fans had no idea who was on the team/field at any point in time during the game. I'm not sure if they've added any more LED boards anywhere in the park to display that kind of info but for the casual fans that scoreboard is pretty useless for anything besides updating the score(s).

clyons Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 The Cubs want to add a jumbotron that is 3X the size of the centerfield scoreboard? http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/c...0,4959884.story In what alternative universe could that ever actually happen?

cabiness42 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Proof that the Cubs are actually the antichrist: Christ: Put to death and on the third day rose from the dead Cubs: New season comes to life and by the third day it's pretty much dead.
