James Thompson's secret plan to acquire and renovate Wrigley Field for at least $400 million without raising taxes and now plans to package the Cubs and their landmark stadium in a private transaction, sources said Monday.

I know the Cubs sell out pretty much every game and sales of merchandise are high, but that is too much to pay for a sports team.

It really doesn't matter. If Selig has his way, we'd be owned by someone who would not have the best interest of the Cubs in mind. Selig's butt buddy, John Canning, is a minority owner of the Brewers.

What are you talking about, there's a huge parking lot next door at the McDonalds, you can fit dozens of cars in there. Also there's also historic and scenic Graceland Cemetary.
