Tom Tunney, the number one enemy in most people's minds when it comes to Wrigley Field renovations, spoke out yesterday saying that the Cubs, in order to increase revenues, should replace the iconic center field scoreboard and replace it with a video board that they can put all sorts of advertising on and make it as big as they want.
While I'm not nearly as supportive of the center field scoreboard as most fans are, this is possibly the stupidest idea this lunatic has come up with yet to try to resolve this standoff.
As one of the tools to help push his case for rooftop protection he has often used the historic status protections of Wrigley Field. One of those protections is the preservation of the center field scoreboard...which is actually one of the protections that the Cubs and the Ricketts family probably has no problem with.
So, Tom Tunney, which is it going to be? Should Wrigley Field be preserved as is? Or should drastic modifications be made?
Oh...I suppose the only protections that matter are the ones that protect the people who fund your campaigns.
To steal from the Boars and Bernstein bit...
Tom Tunney, who ya crappin?
