09:07 AM ET 08.28 | There's not much to the ESPN-Chicago report that Wrigley Field is the leading candidate for the 2016 All-Star Game. The Cubs want an All-Star Game and will get one, but not until work is well on the way to being completed at an improved Wrigley Field. And Commissioner Bud Selig is telling friends it is going to take "a long time'' to complete the projects Tom Ricketts outlined to him during his visit Wednesday to Chicago. The NL hosts the event in odd-numbered years. The 2013 game is going to the Mets, and the Nationals, Phillies, Reds and Padres are believed to be ahead of the Cubs in the pecking order, making it questionable that the game comes to Chicago this decade.

Need to make sure the underside of the upper deck does not foll in on those yuppie fans first. Oh yea the home run contest would bring down the main revenue of Wrigley Field... the roof top seets would collaps as well as the buildings across the street.. LOL LOL.....

The truly sad thing is that nobody can reasonably argue with this statement...

Maybe it would give the Cubs a good reason to finally scrub the bleachers free of piss

As long as there are still new stadiums that hasn't hosted one yet, Wrigley can wait.

DC and Cincy comes to mind.

I've been wondering how big a chunk of concrete those nets are likely to hold.
