FENWAY for WRIGLEY FIELD....?

I'm not a sports girl or anything of the kind and this totally has nothing to do with anything I'd ever be interested in doing, but I'm expanding my horizons getting ideas and knowledge for my LIFE CHANGE! So, I was happy to go to another Renovation Meeting held by Lohan & Associates, this morning regarding Wrigley Field and Mayor Emanuel's big Renovation Plan. I had no idea what Fenway was until today, but here's the gist:

*note to self/blog: Fenway Park (REDSOX Stadium) is the oldest MLB Structure that had a proposal for a 285 million dollar renovation that was cancelled in 2011. They are basically going to apply those Fenway Blueprints to Wrigley.*

* New infastructure
* Fully Renovated Roof Top Deck (Including a VIP area)
* The landscape blueprints looked sort of Solider Field-ish extremely mordern
* JumboTron (Those large television screens that show every parallel of the stadium)
* Mayor along with the Ricketts (owners of Wrigley Field) plans on getting help for the City of Chicago, Public Tax Funds, and Donantions from some big sponsors (Toyota, Chase Bank, Bank of America) to help fund this renovation.

They are waiting on the Landmark Commission to get approval before they can do anything but plans are tentively scheduled for winter 2014.

~side note: I realized at the end of this meeting it might have been a waste except me networking and meeting people that could give me guidance in the near future. (LOL) It was interestingly boring to say the least!? But I promised to document anything that might broaden my area of expertise, even if its by 2 % ! LMBO~

Here's some pics of Wrigley Field and The New Wrigley Field:
