Wrigley Field is an entity and an attraction all its own. It’s the world’s biggest beer garden and singles bar.

The Cubs are nothing but a sideshow of minimal relevance.

How about moving the Cubs to either Tennessee or North Carolina? Chicago doesn’t need two teams anymore.

That’s just so cute. A Cubs fan with dreams of getting to the Big Show.

When you add up a combination of World Series appearances and/or wins, the Yankees and the Cardinals have owned the last century. The Cubs, not so much.

Would a new park really make a difference?

Thye should convert a section of seats behind home plate to a small goat pasture. I wouldn’t go to watch the Cubs. But I might go to watch the goats watch the Cubs.

Hell with the flubs. I guess it is now offical that no one alive remembers their last championship. Serves these ____ right. Most obnoxious ignorant fans in MLB.

Over my dead body: May 23, 1945 - Chicago Lying-In Hospital, University of Chicago. Touch that field and prepare to die Cohen!

Get away with this and ‘they’ will be wanting to tear down Ebbets Field or, even worse, move the Dodgers out of Flatbush, or the Giants away from Coogans Bluff and the Polo Grounds.

Having not won a World Series since 1908, and having last appeared on that stage in 1945—a war year in which the professional leagues were still populated by has-beens and freaks—the Chicago Cubs must contemplate the only solution that might restore the team to glory: Tear down Wrigley Field.

Yeah—but on the other hand, look at all the teams that have won games in Wrigley Field while playing the Cubs.
