Let's all move to Nebraska!

Let's all move to Nebraska!

Go ahead, we're right behind you.

[Brownie]

Let's all move to Nebraska!

Hmm, Tom Tunney and Beth Murphy fuck around too long and the Nebraska statehouse will approve $1B to add  skyboxes and 2 decks to Rosenblatt Stadium, home of the College World Series and your Omaha Cubs.

Is it still Rosenblatt? Thought the name changed when the redid it.  Haven't been there since U.L. Washington was in AAA.

That's going to be a little awkward.

The Royals can locate a AAA team in Chicago. I'm sure they could join the Lakeview Chamber of Commerce.

You're right. It's TD Ameritrade Stadium.

Can't wait til the Cubs win a World Series at TD Ameritrade Presents Budweiser Stadium at Wrigley Field Built By the Home Depot.

Honestly, the drive to Omaha for a weekday night game would probably take no longer than going to Rosemont.

The casino in Council Bluffs has gotta have better odds than Rivers.

So, how much will all the people who moved to Wrigleyville in the past quarter-century bitch about this ruining their quiet old neighborhood?

The Cubs would be allowed to sell beer and wine from kiosks at an open-air plaza adjacent to a renovated Wrigley Field — and fans would be allowed to bring drinks in plastic cups to the plaza — in the latest in a string of concessions to the team.

Local Ald. Tom Tunney (44th) on Tuesday introduced the ordinance to a City Council that's preparing to give the Cubs the go-ahead to take another 10 feet of street and sidewalk and sell advertising on a "branding arch" over Clark Street.

Tunney's new ordinance applies to 99-year-old Wrigley and all other stadiums with capacities exceeding 30,000.

"It says, if you are a licensed brick-and-mortar part of the stadium, you'll have an opportunity to have a sports venue license to be able to either transfer a drink from inside in a plastic container or to serve beer and wine kiosk-like on the plaza," Tunney said.

Fans would be allowed to enter and exit the ballpark. But fans leaving the open-air plaza would not be permitted to leave with drinks in their hands.

...

The ordinance would allow the plaza to operate year-round — when the Cubs are playing at Wrigley and when they're not in town. But the plaza would be required to close down at 11 p.m. on weekdays and at midnight on Friday and Saturday.

Outdoor concerts would be subject to existing noise restrictions, with limitations on noise levels that can be heard more than 100 feet away from the plaza.

Cubs spokesman Julian Green said the team hopes to create a town square of sorts in the open-air plaza. The Cubs hope to fill the space with farmers markets, a winter ice-skating rink, movies in the park and live music.

This was such a nice neighborhood before those damn ballplayers moved in across the street!

Considering that 'friend of the neighborhood' Ald. Tunney introduced it, I'm thinking very few will complain

Clark the Cub.

Clark the Cub.

The Cubs say Clark will be a champion for Cubs Charities' mission of targeting improvements in health and wellness, fitness and education for children, and families at risk. Young fans will see the mascot at schools during Cubs Caravan or "Cubs on the Move" fitness program visits; hospital appearances; and other family-focused events, such as the upcoming Cubs Convention.

God fucking damnit. Ricketts claims to be a Cub fan yet he fails to understand that Wrigley is for drinking and whoring and swearing and taking pictures from 500 feet away to post on the bookfaces.
