The memories aren't gone if you get a new stadium. Anybody cry rivers when the Astros moved out of the Astrodome? What bout when the Phillies got their new park? Or when San Fran left Candlestick? Or when the Mets got Citi Field? Or new Yankee Stadium? Or when the Cards got their new park?

Wrigley is a landmark. But things do get outdated. I'm not saying yeah, burn her down. I'm just saying clinging to ideas and memories and the actual park itself can be exclusive. You don't lose memories if you lose the park.

Since this is a Cubs thread, I wanted to put this here:
quote:

Alfonso Soriano is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Padres.

It's not injury-related, as he's just getting the day off. Julio Borbon will start in left field Wednesday while Anthony Rizzo will hit cleanup. Luis Valbuena is hitting third.

I'm kind of with you.

I've spent a whole lot of time (and even more money) in wrigley and i do love the place. But i'm a cubs fan, not a wrigley fan. If they moved to the north suburbs and had a huge spacious ball park with fan interactive stuff and lots of parking i wouldn't be less of a cubs fan. I'd get over it pretty quick.

I'd hope they took the old score board and put ivy on the wall though.

New yankee stadium has empty seats behind home plate in playoffs. Maybe not game 7...but def during some.

San fran made a better baseball park.thy did it perfect.
At least my friends that live up there in ny they say citi is nice but shea was terrible so thy were happy to get out of it
Phillies vet was terrible. The park before that I know te older fans loved it and hated to see it go.
Cards is nice

If I said memories will be gone I didnt mean to. I meant actually being there where all that stuff happen is special. Like I said you can clean it up...im not opposed to that.
I would be devastated if they said tiger stadium was being tore down and moved. Im sure they can rebuild it exactly somewhere...I just like walking into history. We can agree to disagree though
