New name for Wrigley

Me personally do not want a re-name of the ball park. But if it happens what would be a great name for this historic park?

**ajk4st8** · 01-20-2008, 07:37 PM

People would still call it Wrigley. Just as Principal Park is still Sec Taylor

Is there a reason that it might be re-named or is this just a hypothetical thing?

They would be stupid to ever rename Wrigley Field...

Yeah, changing the name of Wrigley Field would be a freaking FANTASTIC idea.

Hey, why not name it Famous Dave's Field? Maybe Applebee's Stadium would be a good one.

Change of ownership of the Cubs has been pending for awhile now.

Gotta keep it wrigley though. Does the tribune own Wrigley or something? I mean they are seperate companies.

I don't see it happening, but it would be a joke if it happened.

It's named after William Wrigley (the gum guy if you didn't know...). Just make the company pay for it now. Then we don't even worry about a name change.

Entrepenueer (spelling) Zell bought the Tribune and Cubs in late December

Well... I understand that ownership is pending, but I guess I didn't realize that there would be a person stupid enough on this Earth to do something like that.

Seriously, I think a stadium that historic will never be renamed. If so, I'm sure that person probably wouldn't be on this Earth much longer.

I think I read something the other day that mentioned that they won't change the name of wrigley. Nor will they get around to selling the team before opening day. Also, Big Z gave up opening day start to Ted Lilly

He gave it up, but Captain Lou said that Z is still starting opening day...
