Save Wrigley?
Oy, here we go: In the wake of last month's falling concrete at Wrigley Field, Chicago's former public works director is insisting that the baseball shrine is "at or near the end of its useful life," not to mention lacking "certain basic amenities ... such as year-round restaurants and gift shops." The Cubs have always insisted that they're happy at Wrigley - which, incidentally, underwent significant renovations in the 1980s - but this bears watching, especially given recent revelations about MLB's new-stadium incentives.
