This was the final straw. After misleading us on the centerfield sportsbar, oops, private suite, and the right field fence through which fans on the street could see the game, and standing pat on a disapointing 2005 team, they pull this out. Until Cubs fans stop lining up to the trough and giving the Tribune Co. their money this will not change. I therefore urge every true Cubs fan to boycott both the "Bud Light" bleachers and the stadium altogether. Until the money stops coming in, nothing is going to change...
