Maybe it was a good thing the sCrUBS didn't make the WS in '84(?)

In an interview with former Olympic boss and MLB comissioner Peter Uberroth the series probly would have been played at COMISKEY http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

very interesting about the tearing down Wrigley Field angle and moving them to the suburbs. Wow!

[JohnBriggs12]

Ueberroth made a mistake not allowing Wrigley to be torn down. That was the time to do it. You think all those Cub fans trek to Milwaukee every summer because they enjoy the view on I-94? Though they never say it publically, an awful lot of Cub fans agree with me that Wrigley is a dump that's hard to get to, hard to get out of and not family friendly.

 

It's nonsense to think the Cubs wouldn't sell out every game in a bigger stadium in the suburbs.

I love bits of info like that. Thanks for sharing. I agree with you Johnriggs12. I went there once years ago and quite frankly whole experience sucked. I don't have the emotional connection to the park and this was before the Brewers were in the NL so, for me it was the actual experience of the park. That wasn't very good. Bathrooms smelled bad, crappy seats, cold, windy, and not close to worth the trouble of getting there. To top it off I went with a bunch of guys who felt as though the world loved everything about Cubdom. Nothing but common decency kept me from throwing up. Well common decency and the fact that I didn't want to go to the bathroom again if I could help it.
