The Chicago Sun-Times’ Shamus Toomey concludes his review of the improved concessions at the Tribune Co.’s Wrigley Field thusly :
Other changes to look for at Wrigley — which hosts its home opener Friday — include a new brick wall to protect 80 new seats beyond the visitor’s dugout; a new revolving advertising board behind home plate; new 42-inch high-definition TVs in every skybox, and new nets to catch falling concrete.
Falling concrete … if the Trib Co. wants to end criticism of falling concrete, they need only go to the Cub Faithful and explain that “new concrete” is tantamount to getting a NEW BALLPARK! Cub fans would rise up to stop any improvment — I mean, desecration — of the Friendly Confines and it’s long Cub history of collapsing and crumbling under pressue.
