Wrigley Field Renovation Deal Is Announced

Early April 15th, Tom Ricketts, Owner of the Cubs announced his plans to renovate the historic monument that is 99 years old. The plan is said to be worth 500 million dollars. It includes building a new hotel, a brand new clubhouse, as well as a big electronic screen that will be put up in left field. The only problem with the deal is that it will obstruct the views from some of the rooftops. The rooftops have a 20-year deal with the Cubs that has 11 years left on contract. I feel some serious compromising needs to be done at this point. I believe a contract is a contract, and you can't break one. If Ricketts follows through and actually puts up everything he say he is, there is going to be huge problems. He might even lose more money in court, than he is actually is paying for in renovations. It's sad to see such a historic monument in sports going through this. Plus, the rooftops are part of the experience. I think there needs to be a compromise before they start the 3-year renovating project. Otherwise, a lot of Cubs fans and rooftop owners will be extremely upset and disappointed with the Ricketts family.
