The Future Of Wrigley Field
Let's get this out of the way right now. I love Wrigley Field. And I love the Cubs. And I want the Cubs to win a World Series (many of them, in fact). Those things are not mutually exclusive, no matter what some would have you think. I love Wrigley because of where it is -- in a residential city...

BCB Interview: Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts (Part III)
The third and final part of my interview with Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts touches on TV territorial rights -- something I know is a key issue for many BCBers -- as well as what he hopes to accomplish in "Year Two" of the Ricketts family ownership of the Cubs. Many thanks to Tom for his time and his...
BCB Interview: Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts (Part II)
This part of the interview is going to be a little more contentious, I'm afraid, than yesterday's was -- and yesterday's had its points of contention. Today's portion of the interview deals with the proposed renovations to Wrigley Field and the proposal that was made to use a portion of the...

Manchester United in my Wrigley Field? It's more likely than you think...
Last June, the Tribune ran a story that mentioned the Chicago Fire and the Chicago Cubs were at least discussing the idea of bringing soccer to Wrigley Field for the first time since the Chicago Sting played there in 1984.
