Cubs may ponder Wrigley exit http://t.co/Go7VLwoxO5 CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts said Wednesday that without new signage in the outfield at Wrigley Field the team will consider leaving the historic ballpark. 小熊隊主席Tom Ricketts表示如果Wrigley Field的外野不能裝新看板的話，球隊會考慮搬出Wrigley Field。 It's believed to be the first time Ricketts has publicly floated the idea of leaving Wrigley, although he maintained throughout his speech at the City Club of Chicago that his preference is to remain at Wrigley and improve the park with a $500 million renovation. 這應該是Ricketts首次公開說不排除離開Wrigley Field。Ricketts還是表示他希望能留在Wrigley Field，同時能用$500M來翻修球場。 "I'm not sure how anyone is going to stop the signs in the outfield, but if it comes to the point that we don't have the ability to do what we need to do in our outfield then we're going to have to consider moving," Ricketts told reporters, according to the Chicago Tribune. "It's as simple as that." 「如果最終演變成無法讓我們進行外野必需的翻修，我們會考慮離開，就這麼簡單。」 Ricketts said the team needs to install a 6,000 square foot video board at Wrigley because it would bring in much needed revenue. 計畫是裝設6000平方呎的電子看板─因為這樣能增加收入。 Ricketts said the Cubs could be making $20 million a year more in ad revenue. He said the video board proposed for the left field is "midsize" compared to those displayed at other major league ball parks. Ricketts認為小熊每年的收入會增加$20M，而且他要的只是「中型」的看板，比一些球隊還小。 Nearby rooftop owners, who charge fans for access to watch Cubs games, worry such a board would block their views and have vowed legal action if that happens. In 2004, the team and the rooftop owners entered into a 20-year deal in which the Cubs allow access to views of Wrigley in exchange for 17 percent of rooftop revenues. Ricketts says studies indicate the views would only be blocked minimally, if at all. 不過Wrigley Field旁邊的屋主不爽了(就是緊臨球場的那些屋頂)，擔心看板會影響視線 ─如果球團執意要弄看板，他們會採取法律行動。2004年球團和屋主簽訂20年合約，支付 17%的收入即可進入觀看。Ricketts表示就算擋到也只會擋到一點點。 Ricketts said the team will file its proposal with the city on Wednesday. 球團會在週三向市政府提出要求。 -- https://twitter.com/thekapman/status/329592276932247553 "If we cannot get approval for this plan and our signage plans are blocked we will then consider moving out of Wrigley Field". -- https://twitter.com/thekapman/status/329600267903463424 https://twitter.com/thekapman/status/329600570480545792 "We are very confident in the legality of our signage plan. We are not making a threat to move. The fact is we want to win in Wrigley Field. Keep my talk about moving in context. We want to win at Wrigley. We also need to run our business." -- "HARD WORK BEATS TALENT WHEN TALENT FAILS TO WORK HARD." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.114.207.153
