There has been 3 incidences since June 9th that 3 pieces of falling debris has fallen on seats in Wrigley Field.
Only one hit an elderly woman on the foot.
The rest happened when no one was there.
The City Officials are saying the Cubs organization and the Chicago Tribune who also owns Wrigley Field should tear down the field.
I am not a Cubs fan but this is a land mark in Chicago.
Comiskey Field was replaced wth Cellular Feild and it is beautiful.
Soldier Feild was redone and also beautiful.
I wonder what Cubs fans feel about this being wrigley Field being the "friendly Confines".
Would you like a new field or renuvate?

renuvate! Wrigley is too valuable to tear down!

Renovate it!

Wrigley Field is the second-oldest Major League baseball field in existance, and one of only three left of the originals (Fenway Park, the oldest, and Yankee Stadium, third oldest, being the other two). To give you an idea of the magnitute of that statement, consider this. All three of these stadiums were built between 1912 and 1919. The fourth oldest stadium in the country right now is Dodger Stadium, built in 1962. Every other major league park in the country has been torn down and replaced, or relocated.

Wrigley Field is the only stadium to have undergone the least amount of "modernization" in any of it's prior renovations. There are no fancy electronic billboards rising up behind the outfield walls, no Jumbo-tron, no huge arcade or mini-theme park areas to keep the impatient amused. They still use the original scoreboard, and the numbers on it are still placed by hand. Heck they didn't even install lights for night games until 1988!

Tearing down Wrigley Field and building a modern "techno-box" stadium, to any true baseball fan, let alone a Cubs fan, would be heresey.

In addition, it could cost the city some prestige. Wrigley Field and Soldier Field are both currently listed as National Historical Landmarks in the Federal Register. That may change, however, as there is now discussion of removing Soldier Field from the Registry. It seems changes made in their renovations a couple of years back are too drastic to have retained the original "look and feel" of the venerated old stadium, and it can no longer be considered a historical landmark for that reason.

Fans and the team owners itself have never looked to replace it, never threatened to take the team elsewhere if a new stadium isn't built. Wrigley Field is one of Chicago's greatest landmarks. Renovate it, but don't replace it.

Bit selfish but please renovate Wrigley, it’s still on my ‘to do’ list (center field, drink my body weight in beer, throw back a home run from the visiting team).

The only ‘modern’ filed I’ve been impressed with is Camden yards, if they decided to rebuild this would be the perfect model.
