Chicago Cubs Controversy

Wrigley Field--home of the Chicago Cubs and known for its "old time", more original look. The field is surrounded by many residential streets, in addition to bars and restaurants; better known as Wrigleyville. The.The famous Wrigley Field is also well known for its ivy covered walls and having an old school, hand-turned scoreboard. But as we move further and further into the twenty-first century, a new $575 million dollar renovation project is underway moving it closer to the 'jumbotron' era. The new renovation includes seven new advertising signs, including a video screen that towers over the ever so famous ivy wall and by the looks of it would also become an obstruction of the view from the rooftop restaurants, that many people visit on game days because of the unique view of the baseball game.
Because of these new renovations that have already been started, there has been a few controversy's because the Chicago Cubs had signed contracts with roof-top owners; who have revenue sharing agreement till the end of 2023. This basically means that the Cubs owner made an agreement saying that they allow the  Roof Top Restaurants to charge people and make revenue by letting people watch the game from the top of their buildings. A few of the roof top restaurants have filed lawsuits against the owner of the Chicago Cubs, Tom Rikets himself.
So should the cubs have made this renovation when they're potentially hurting surrounding businesses? From the outside looking in at both sides of the story; putting up a jumbotron that many fans requested so they can be more informed and have more information on players instead of just the score and contrary to that the blocked view of the ever so famous roof top restaurants resulting in loss of money for those companies, it becomes very hard to decide what is the best thing to do. Quite frankly, I don't even know what I believe is right because either way someone is going to end up unhappy. An article written in TIME by John Sanburn stated that the renovations could "provide boost for the beloved Cubbies, who haven't reached the playoffs since 2008 and haven't won a World Series since 1908." I'm not quite sure how adding a jumbotron and moving more into the twenty-first century will give the Cubs a boost, but hey I guess if that's what it takes to get them there, then why not do it?
