http://blog.cubhub.net/2009/03/12/wrigley-rooftops-changing/ Views from a Die-Hard fan of the Chicago Cubs - from CubHub.net Wed, 11 Jan 2012 03:22:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 http://blog.cubhub.net/2009/03/12/wrigley-rooftops-changing/comment-page-1/#comment-2952 fruitbat Fri, 27 Mar 2009 16:04:56 +0000 http://blog.cubhub.net/?p=391#comment-2952 That's not much history in the linked article. Who started the rooftop club thing? It started around the time that bleacher sales went to advance tickets ('85?) and, of course, the lights came in. When did the Cubs finally get a piece of the action? The article implies how--the constant threat of screening. I remember around that time the Cubs management having a hissy about the ad on the roof of the building across Waveland (or maybe it was WGN), because the building owner got the money... The Cubs/Tribune would try to get a piece of anything happening in the neighborhood if they could. I hope the next owners remember that a huge percentage of the appeal of the Cubs is Wrigley.
