Let the panic commence.
I’ve already seen half-cocked old-school Chicago Cubs fans point to the removal of the red signage outside the gates at the Friendly Confines as the latest bastardization of Wrigley Field. Yet, per usual, these individuals were wrong and had half the story.
The best account of this week’s latest step in the Wrigley renovation, also known as the 1060 Project, that I’ve found to-date came from Al Yellon over at Bleed Cubbie Blue, who even managed to shoot some video of the process, which took place on Monday afternoon.
He also got this statement from Cubs’ spokesman Julian Green, explaining the move – although you would think that was apparent.
