It looks like Crane Kenney and I are on the same page when it comes to renovating Wrigley Field: 

Kenney also said the Cubs want to restore Wrigley Field to “its original look,” which would include removing exterior chain link fences and concrete panels. The renovations also would include upgraded luxury suites and premium seating behind home plate that would require the destruction of the team’s offices.

I remember when John McDounough took over as the interim president for the Cubs, I thought it was kind of a shame, since getting promoted to such an office would have made a return to his previous post of marketing guru highly unlikely. He’s since moved on to be the president of the Blackhawks.

I’m starting to have the same feeling about Crane Kenney… has actually done a fantastic job as president of the Cubs, but at the same time it seems like a new owner would probably bring in their own head honcho, leaving Kenney out in the cold.

I won’t get too excited about Kenney’s plan to remove the chain-link fences and ugly concrete facade… I’m told the Tribune said exatly the same thing when they bought the team in 1981. And yet the facade remains. We’ll see.
