No more Wrigleyville?
Let's see if I have this right: The Ricketts family wants to spend $500 million to upgrade their ballpark. No taxpayer funds to be used. Rooftop owners (who, in fact, are stealing the Cubs’ product) want more, in the form of less signage in the park...Tags: Wrigleyville, Chicago Mayor, Wrigley Field, Rahm Emanuel
