block the so-called restoration project at Wrigley Field in Chicago–which seeks to add large jumbo-trons.

Created by L.H. on May 28, 2014

Wrigley Field in Chicago is one of 2 classic jewel-box Baseball parks left in the country. Wrigley Field sure could use a new paint job in some places, but the restoration most certainly need not add large jumbo-tron screens that would completely the ambiance of the Wrigley experience. Additionally, they'd block the views of the rooftop seats across Waveland Avenue. These seats bring in revenue for the Cubs and the owners. Wrigley Field currently preserves a unique and rare atmosphere for our national pastime to be played. By adding 21st century means of distraction and "entertainment", the 20th century beauty would be destroyed. Instead of hearing classic organ music, we'd be watching ridiculous gags on the jumbo-tron. It's unnecessary and obnoxious.
