Anybody know what time the flippers showed up and is the line still long?

"The Cubs are replacing the sod in Wrigley Field in anticipation of their post-season run ... they've decided to leave the old sod for fans to pick up and bring home. Interested Chicagoans can head over to the lot not far from the stadium on the corner of West Waveland and North Clifton to pick up a batch, from 9 a.m. Thursday until either Saturday or when they run out."

    I was watching the Giants/Cubs over the weekend...I think it was TBS, The commentator said it was chewed up " due to recent concerts" didn't mention the band by name

    You can see the imprint of the stage

    I'd love some Wrigley Grass

    That's awesome. Now die-hards can have a small patch-like shrine in their front yard. And, come October, their neighbor's dog can come take a poop on it :lol:












    As a season long suffering Braves fan, I do hope the Cubbies win it all.

    It was obviously those rowdy Billy Joel fans.

    Probably the Luke Bryan fans at the show the night after the Billy Joel show.

    Any still available? Might need to swing by and check, although carrying a wad of sod in my arms on the train seems a little odd.
