I go to Chase Field during the season and while I love baseball in any form...it is borderline annoying.

of course it's annoying....it's semi filled with those fraud d-bag fans.

Yeah, I simply do not understand why D-back fans are such assholes. I've been to probably a dozen stadiums where the Cubs were playing and nothing compares to the assface D-Back fans.
Makes no sense.

Try going to a game at Miller Park. They hate Cubs fans there. Sports talk in town when the Cubs are in town focuses more on how much they hate Cubs fans than the actual game itself. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of annoying Cubs fans, just like every fan base, but the media really adds fuel to the fire up here, it's pretty disgusting. Personally I think MIL just needs to understand that there's always going to be a ton of Cubs fans at games at Miller Park when we are in town, so as Al Davis says, I mean said, "get ovah it".

yeah, but cubs fans are the worst.....

i've lost count of the number of cubs fans that talk shit like they have won something in the last 100 years....

cubs fans just need to shut up until they do anything.

there is something to be said for a classic old school throw back stadium.

if anything...leave the interior brick wall, leave the score board, leave the bleachers...tear down the rest and build a stadium around the field

Couldn't agree more! The renovation they did with the bleachers is great, it's really nice out there and has a fairly modern/ yet old school feel. I know they can't do everything like it, but I went to the series out at Fenway last summer and absolutely loved it. Maybe we don't need a huge replay board, but Fenway had the old school feel to watching a game, but didn't come across like a dump, which sadly when walking around the main concourse at Wrigley I think most people would think. It's too cramped when walking around, the bathrooms are bad, and there are far too few of them, and then there is the horrendous food. I'd be all for tearing down everything but the bleachers and brick and completely rebuilding the main grandstand. Sadly I think the only way the could realistically widen the concourse which is probably one of the most important things they could do IMO, would be to shut down Addison and basically build out into the street, not sure how else they could widen the concourse down the RF line, they some room down the LF line as long as they don't build that triangle building.

I'm not disagreeing that we have our share of bad apples, cause we do, and all teams do. They are basically just the posers though, ask them about the team and they will tell you they love Sosa and hope he hits a HR today. The majority of the annoying fans aren't really cubs fans, cause they couldn't tell you the first thing about anyone currently on the team. It does piss me off though, cause they definitely give us a bad name. That being said it's so bad in Milwaukee I went to a game a few years ago and sat down in my seat without saying a word and was constantly shouted at "fuck you cubs fan" over and over and over by a guy two rows behind us. My friend I was with who is a Brewers fan was begging me to egg him on to get him to come down by us cause my friend was going to deck him. Luckily I had some cool Brewers fans behind me who apologized for the annoying ahole. Also went to a game the Cubs were winning with 2 outs in the 9th a few years ago and stood up to clap for the last out and was told to sit down by some old lady brewers fan behind me. Seriously? She obviously doesn't know baseball cause if she had ever been to a game before she would know you stand when there are two outs in the 9th and your team is trying to get the win.

build down....

they are always bitching about workout/hitting cage space....i've always wondered....why not build under the field.

as for the concourse...you could in theory expand it, but ditching the rum club and gift shop...but i doubt they dump revenue generators.

and quite frankly...outside of the leaving the stadium after the game, i have no problem with the concourse.

i've seen the ushers at wrigley tell opposing fans to hush and sit. i realize all teams have douche bag fans, but it seems the cubs have more than their fair share.

Hey now...we aren't all bad...

There are asshole fans everywhere.
I have been to games in approx 13 stadiums/parks. To date, Diamondback fans are the biggest assholes.
I've been to tons of Cub rival games...and while they get heated at times, it's not a big deal.
New York, Philly, St. Louis, Cincy, LA, Milwaukee, wherever....the sheer level of assholedness in Chase Field in Arizona is something really crazy. Yeah, they won it in '02 or whenever it was...but really?

I've been to tons of games up there. I still conclude that it has nothing to do with the Cubs....Wisconsin hillbillies just hate people from Illinois. :?

he still stands

I've lived in Chicago, Phoenix and Philly (area).

Cubs fans are gentle as fuck compared to the east coast baseball fans and sports fans in general. Same goes with Bears fans.

I've seen Cubs fans playfully make fun of opposing fans but it almost always is in good fun. At Philly or NY there is always a tension in the air that you might get popped in the mouth just for wearing the opposing team's jersey. There's always the threat of violence it seems, which I've NEVER experience at a Cubs or Bears game.

Phoenix is just a bunch of juvenile idiots who know nothing about the game... but that's where I got into a small skirmish

east coast people have an inferiority complex...or is it a holier than thou attitude.

No one has a sense of entitlement like New Yorkers, no one, it's not even close.

Cubs theme for the season..."anything can happen"

Reality says losing will happen

The only thing going for the cubs is that their division got worse with pujols and fielder leaving. Braun missing 50 games will help too. The division is clearly wide open. .500 ball might be enough for the playoffs.
