09:57 AM ET 03.10 | The Cubs are teaming up with Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management to conduct a survey involving kids' experiences at Wrigley Field, asking selected fans to help provide the "right opportunities for your kids to connect with the team and grow as the next generation" of fans. The business operations department has sought input from fans about their 99-year-old ballpark. Despite continued political squabbling, it's expected to go through a major nip 'n' tuck operation when the $300 million renovation plan gets underway. Among the kid-friendly topics fans were asked about were batting cages and radar gun zones, kids apps for smartphones and tablets, a kids section, a new Cubs song and "interaction with a mascot." A mascot at Wrigley Field? In the ballpark that still boos the Wave? The Cubs are one of only a few teams that eschew the marketing ploy, joining traditionalists such as the Yankees, Dodgers and Angels.

Exactly. They wouldn't have to research any of this hooey if they put a good team on the field year in and year out.

So what's the Mascot gonna be?
If they put some dude in a Bear Costume, he's gonna get beat up every game :-)

"The Cubs are only one of a few traditionalist teams that eschew(reject) the marketing ploy of using mascots"
So naturally there would be a thread here about mascots. PHFFT!!

I think not winning games is what the Cubs are all about, they are The world Champion of Losers and they love it!!!

The new Cubs mascot could be the key to their bullpen as well.

How about Wile E Coyote? They have very similar records of success lately. An actual goat would also work.
