Today's sign of the apocalypse: Selling the naming rights to Wrigley Field????

Jacque Jones Field at Fail Park.

 

I knew the Cubs would sell their soul for a World Series title!

Jeers Field at Assclowns Stadium

 

Bazooka (no longer) Wrigley Field

Wahoo!! Delta Tau Delta, baby!

that is all.

 

Can't the city name the stadium a landmark and keep Zell's grubby hands off it?

 

It already is.

 

They can't take it by eminent domain?

 

No. Though there is talk of selling it to a state-run commission, which owns and operates U.S. Cellular Field.

 

So much for that train of thought...
Zell better not worry about his popularity, if he sells naming rights....

Awesome.

 

Zell is not worried about his popularity. Not when a guy is regularly called a "vulture investor."

If the state plays ball with someone as real-estate savvy as Zell regarding gaining control of the field, it is going to get its balls removed and served with a plate of its pecker. The taxpayers are Illinois are going to be paying through the nose for the enormous upkeep costs at Wrigley. And I believe it's no sure thing that the state would control the land as well -- didn't the Wrigleys or somebody own that separately?
