I know it has been gone for years but it was my favorite place to get food for games.

Homer sad…

Yum Yum Donut Shop

has been used for Cubs offices

I will be so happy when this thing is done, the Cubs need it soo bad!!!

…that a billion dollar plus organization like the Cubs was running things from a converted donut shop… kinda reminds me of how the mob used to operate out of backrooms and grocery stores…

This would be exactly where?

Along the 3rd base/left field foul line, i.e. between N. Clark St., W. Waveland Ave. and N. Seminary Ave.?

what will it be used for?

I only hope that they make it fit in terms of visual style (seems likely), but also that they don’t make it too tall (i.e. as tall as Wrigley’s facade). I’m not a fan of the crosswalks, either. I like the concept just fine, but I don’t want it to compete architecturally with the park.

… the other day someone asked about the temporary seats they put on Waveland during the 1929 World Series. Here is a photo of the scaffolding they were building for the temporary seating.

I thought I read something about a Cub Museum or some such thing in the Triangle. Artifacts, memorabilia and all that. Was that my imagination?

The new bleachers, re-sodded field, new constructed rooftop bleachers (including the building that was completely gutted in 2008 on sheffield), the new box seats, now the triangle building is on its way.
It’ll be nice when the Cubs haters can’t call Wrigley a dump anymore after the concourse is updated.

I remember a Brewers fan trashing Wrigley Field up at Miller Park saying how the park smelt like you-know-what. Well when a ballpark is almost a century old compared to a state-of-the-art ballpark built just recently, of course the older ballpark is gonna need some updates. Lets see what Miller Park looks and smells like in 90 plus years.
  
I’m gonna miss the sunset gleaming through the fence above the terrace seats coming across the field after the triangle building blocks it. I’m sure the first basemen won’t miss it.

Outside of Wrigley Field when I went to Cubs home games, particularly the Crosstown Classic on June 21, 2008.

Had no idea the Cubs were doing so much from that building. Must go to Wrigley Field again once the building is done!

OT: It is now November 9 here in Vermont. 20 years ago today, a wall dividing Berlin was finally breached and fell.

I have family members in what were then East and West Germany.

I really loved that place. When I lived in the area I often went their for breakfast in the off season.

They should be sure to include bike valet parking in the new building or find another location for it. During a typical game there are well over 50 bikes stored at the bike valet on that lot.

A minor issue for those who don’t bike but a major convenience and incentive to encourage biking.

All I have to say is: It’s about time.

but if the Cubs do this right, this could be just as successful if not more so than the Lambeau Field Atrium. When the Packers built the Atrium, they built it with a Hall of Fame, a huge gift shop and a littler one, a restaurant/bar area, team offices, and banquet facilities. I think more important, its also where the stadium tours originate too. The Atrium has given the Packers a huge new source of revenue and makes Lambeau Field a year-round destination, which give the Packers boatloads of money even when the Packers aren’t there. The Cubs could easily do this and make Wrigley Field a year-round destination as well.

Wonder if they will sell naming rights to the building.

unless it’ll house some sort of factory or laboratory wherein a World Series champion will finally be assembled. Let’s worry about the product on the field and not what kinds of food that’ll be available.
