Wrigley Field becomes even more profitable
http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/clout_st/2009/03/council-oks-three-concerts-at-wrigley-field-this-summer.html As if this historic landmark could use any more publicity, now, Wrigley field is scheduled to host three concerts this summer. (Billy Joel, Elton John, and Rascal Flatts) The stadium is no stranger to these types of event but according to the Tribune article, the Southport Neighbors Association opposed the idea. I, myself, attended the Jimmy Buffet concert a few years ago at Wrigley. It was complete madness and I mean that in a good way. But I understand where people are coming from - especially those residents living a stones throw away. Northsiders know its necessary to somewhat plan your life around a Cubs game. On game day, locals looking to travel somewhere in a car, usually leave an extra hour early to compensate for hurendous traffic conditions. It’s exciting to live so close to the action but it has its downside. Don’t get me wrong. I’ll probably be one of the thousands at the Rascal Flatts concert but I feel bad for residents - it can be a bit rough.
