U.S. Cellular Field: Home of the Chicago Cubs?

I would laugh if the Cubs won the WS at US Cellular. It'd certainly explain where the curse comes from.

Whether Cub fans go to Miller Park or the Cell , they will find out how much better the
food is in both of those venues , and how much they have been getting ripped off by
the owners of the Cubs who serve up the worst junk food in MLB.

I think they can divide up their games at US Cellular, Brewer's field, Northwestern's field and even some games where they have spring training. But a previous writer had it right, the Venders around Wrigley field will suffer big time so they will have to be compensated.

I've been to both ballparks and Wrigley is a dump. I sat in a skybox there last year and couldn't believe how that park still stands. Netting all over the place to catch falling concrete, rusted out structural steel, cracked ramps to seating...the list could go on forever. They need a major overhaul at Wrigley and if they need to play on the South Side for a season, I say do it.

If Cubs played at the "Cell", I bet they still draw more than the Sox....that would be hilarious!

To the fellow who repeated old news that the Cubs haven't won a pennant since 1945--sorry, but 10 pennants won count just as much before '45 as after.

"Half of the Lincoln Park chad-trixie contingent operates under the (untrue) belief they'll be shot the minute they step off the train at 35th Street"

Not true at all. Maybe a severe beat down, but not shot.

Probably cheaper to renovate than to build a while new stadium.

Lets face it either the Chubbies relocate for 2 seasons and demolish that rat trap the so lovingly call the freindly confines (whats so lovely about a place that's falling down) and build a NEW stadium and leave the frickin ivy in the compost pile to be trucked to the dump. Or have it literally fall down around their ears.

LOL...yeah we'll let them come out South. It's gonna cost double thou.

Jim the guy is from Ohio. This is nothing new at all. This has been talked about for years as the renovation of Wrigley has been planned. White Sox fans might not like the idea, but I imagine Reisndorpf is drooling think about all the money coming in

All of the people who own business's around Wrigley would go bankrupt. The neighborhood needs Wrigley more than the Cubs do.

I know dozens of Sox fans from the North Side and dozens of Cubs fans on the South Side. There is no magical border. Cubs fans make the journey every year to the Cell. It's not a big deal. I hope they play there. The Cell is a better baseball park. No obstructed views, plenty of bathrooms, nice concourse. I love going there for games. As for nightlife, well, it's obvious Wrigleyville area no question. Wrigley: Keep the Ivy, Scoreboard. Gut the rest.

Cardinals fan here...and I would be happy to see the Cubs win it all some year. They've won more pennants than the Reds, Pirates, Braves, and Phillies, so why not?

OK--Cubs 10 NL pennants is tied for 4th with the Braves.
Dodgers--19; Giants--19; Cardinals--18; Cubs--10; Braves--10

In other words, their 10 pennants is 4th all-time in the National League.

Hearing that annoying Cubs song (Go Cubs Go) being played at the Cell would almost be too much to handle for me. Watching the Cubs take the field as a visiting team is one thing, but announcing the Cubs starting lineup as the home team would be another (especially during the crosstown classic).

Couldn't they split home dates between the Cell and Miller? It isn't like a team's never done such a thing before, heck the Green Bay Packers played some of their games in Milwaukee for 60 odd years.
Alternately, as has been suggested, what about Soldier Field? The two seasons only overlap for a month (sorry Cubs fans, but we know you're not going to be still playing in October). Soldier is plenty accessible for fans and definitely has the capacity, and I'm sure the City of Chicago (which owns it), would like nothing more than an additional 81 events planned there.
If anything, Reinsdorf should be pushing like crazy for the Cubs to rent out his digs for a year, before someone else gets in on that first. I'm sure the businesses around Armour Square would love him for it.
Or they could just barnstorm for the year...

With the team they're going to put on the field they should play in one of their minor league stadiums because thats the caliber of play they are going to get. The Sox won't be much better. One reason the Bears had to play in Champaign was because the the pansies in Evanston didn't want to let them play in Dyche Stadium.

Do they let goats in at US Cellular?
