New name for Wrigley

[Dave19642006]

Me personally do not want a re-name of the ball park. But if it happens what would be a great name for this historic park?

 

[ajk4st8]

People would still call it Wrigley. Just as Principal Park is still Sec Taylor

Is there a reason that it might be re-named or is this just a hypothetical thing?

They would be stupid to ever rename Wrigley Field...

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Yeah, changing the name of Wrigley Field would be a freaking FANTASTIC idea.

Hey, why not name it Famous Dave's Field? Maybe Applebee's Stadium would be a good one.

Change of ownership of the Cubs has been pending for awhile now.

Gotta keep it wrigley though. Does the tribune own Wrigley or something? I mean they are seperate companies.

 

[LindenCy]

I don't see it happening, but it would be a joke if it happened.

It's named after William Wrigley (the gum guy if you didn't know...). Just make the company pay for it now. Then we don't even worry about a name change.

Entrepenueer (spelling) Zell bought the Tribune and Cubs in late December

Well... I understand that ownership is pending, but I guess I didn't realize that there would be a person stupid enough on this Earth to do something like that.

Seriously, I think a stadium that historic will never be renamed. If so, I'm sure that person probably wouldn't be on this Earth much longer.

I think I read something the other day that mentioned that they won't change the name of wrigley. Nor will they get around to selling the team before opening day. Also, Big Z gave up opening day start to Ted Lilly

Thye are talking that the selling won't be till mid season to end of the 2008 season

He gave it up, but Captain Lou said that Z is still starting opening day...

 

[scottie33]

Big Z is 0-3 in opening day games.

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Big Z is 0-3 in opening day games.

Yeah, I was thinking that Ted would be a better choice for opening day.

I've heard they won't rename it per say, but add a sponser in front of Wrigley.

The best that I've heard is Old Style Wrigley Field - for obvious reasons

 

[superdorf]

That article is incredibly confusing... The bottom line is that Tribune Cos. own Wrigley field.

I think?
