剛好昨天看到的新聞小熊總裁Tom Ricketts想要透過網路聯署來通過Wrigley Field的擴建案 http://ppt.cc/u5fG Cubs planning to move forward with Wrigley Field renovations In a letter and video sent to Cubs fans on Wednesday, chairman Tom Ricketts said the team is ready to move forward with proposed renovations to Wrigley Field. Here is the video: Ricketts says a revised expansion plan will be submitted to the Commission on Chicago Landmarks seeking approval for the addition of several signs and a new seating configuration in the outfield. If approved, the team is prepared to begin construction immediately. Here are the highlights of the revised renovation plan, courtesy of MLB.com's Carrie Muskat: The new outfield signs will provide an additional revenue source to help fund other parts of the restoration, Ricketts said. The revised expansion plan will include additional seating and open spaces in the Budweiser Bleachers, including new group terraces in right and left field and enclosed hospitality areas. They are also asking for new outfield lights that will reduce shadows, allowing fly balls to be lit from both front and back. All lighting will be directed inside the ballpark and not outside to the community. Also, four additional LED signs of up to 650 square feet, and one additional 2,400-square foot videoboard in right field will be added to the ballpark. Both the home and visitor's clubhouses will be expanded as part of the renovations, and the bullpens would be moved off the field to an area under the Budweiser Bleachers. "We can't delay any longer. The time to build a winner is now," Ricketts said in the video. "I'm not saying Wrigley Field is the reason the Chicago Cubs haven't won a world championship in more than 100 years, but I am saying it's time to invest in Wrigley Field and to do the things our competitors do." A proposed video scoreboard in left field will be reduced in size, though the Wrigleyville Rooftop Association has made it clear it plans to sue to prevent the scoreboard from being built because it will obstruct views. "We've spent endless hours negotiating with the rooftop businesses," Ricketts added. "We've gotten nowhere in our talks with them to settle this dispute. It has to end. It's time to move forward." The Chicago City Council and the Commission on Chicago Landmarks approved the team's $500 million renovation plan in 2013. That proposal included a larger video scoreboard. Other approved elements include an open-air plaza outside Wrigley, a 175-room hotel in partnership with Starwood, a 40,000-square-foot Chicago Athletic Club, a restoration of the ballpark's facade and improved amenities. The proposed renovation will be privately financed. Wrigley Field celebrated its 100th anniversary earlier this year and is the second-oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://m.mlb.com/video/?content_id=33045675 有興趣的可以看看上面這段影片 http://imgur.com/oF0HGTx

小熊隊打者竟然只能在休息室做打擊練習練打還要把簾子拉下來保護電視... 實在是Wrigley Field的室內空間太過狹小又沒辦法擴建雖然Tom Ricketts不斷強調說說他不會把小熊超過100年無法奪冠的原因歸咎於球場XD 小熊球團對於Wrigley Field的狹小的室內練習和休息空間以及場外不能大量設置看板已經感冒很久了(會妨礙到那些屋頂座位的景觀所以那些住戶不爽不給用) 一直對芝加哥市議會和政府遊說想擴建球場的計畫好不容易芝加哥市政府通過小熊球團的擴建提案那些屋頂住戶卻不爽要告小熊球團杯葛不讓提案通過雖然小熊球團已經和屋頂住戶協調很久了不過好像還沒有結果所以小熊總裁Tom Ricketts只好在網路上發起聯署動之以情希望通過擴建案才能讓他有更多的廣告贊助有錢持續投資小熊隊才能讓小熊隊早日奪冠。 -- 作者 girl10319 (凱莉) 看板 Baseball 標題 [新聞] 田中若去洋基隊長吉特：「張開雙臂歡迎他！」時間 Mon Jan 20 16:55:37 2014
