Not going to happen. Yah, move to Rosemont where a plane will fly overhead every 10 minutes. They have a cash cow in that park if they get the renovations and "Cubs Town" that they want. The bar owners are right to balk at the proposal because the whole idea is for the Cubs to expand and capture all the business they see going on around the park before and after the game that they aren't getting. Think the Cubs are thrilled when people spend $7 for a CAN OF OLD STYLE (not joking) at Murphy's Bleachers?? Fuck No. They want to be the ones to charge that much for that shit can of beer. The Cubs have a right and I don't fault them for trying to get everything they can, but they don't seem to know how things work in the City and that no one believes them when they say they are "going to create 1,300 jobs" and all that bullshit.
They have tried to model everything they've done after the Red Sox who were/are in a similar situation to them in terms of an old park in a neighborhood. Cubs President Crane Kenny probably has a locket around his neck full of John Henry's splooge. They want to do what the Red Sox have done point by point - which means not moving from that craphole. They should have played the "moving away" card a long time ago and have shown that they don't want to move. Error. Now they don't have that play and won't get all they can as a result. People should be fired for this fuck up.
The Curse of Frank Drebin strikes again.
