First off, SCREW YOU SAM ZELL! Â Ok, so you want to make another 20 million off your sale of the Cubs by selling the naming rights to Wrigley Field. Way to mess with tradition and history of the Chicago Cubs. Â The Cubs are meant to play at Wrigley Field, not some stadium named after a bank or insurance company. Â Zell, you damn greedy old man!
All us Cubs fans can hope is that Zell will sell the naming rights to someone that plans on keep the name Wrigley Field and then making off the deal in some other way. � Too bad all us Cubs fans couldn’t donate so much money for Zell’s greedy ass and make sure the naming rights were always Wrigley Field….
It must hurt to be a Cubs fan right about now. I can’t imagine Wrigley Field being named something atrocious like Xerox Park.
In response to Sam Zell’s declaration yesterday, some cubs fans have set up a petition where you can pledge to boycott the products/services of any company that is compelled to buy the naming rights of Wrigley Field.

I cannot believe this little man has the stupidity to sell separately the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field. He is nothing more than a narcissistic napoleonic a-hole. He would rather break up tradition than work to preserve it. I’ll bet he would sell his mother to the devil for a dime…the cheap bast@rd!
first off let me just remind everyone that Wrigley Field was named for the gum company, but i agree it shouldnt be changed
Ronnie — you’re right. Wrigley Field now is named after a CHEWING GUM COMPANY. Not a US President, not a valiant soldier who died in a war, not some other hero. But yes, a GUM company. All you Cubs fans need to stop bellyaching — that hallowed field was sold to commercial interests long ago.
Zell is smart to see what money he can grab from whatever idiot company that’s willing to drop millions for it.
