[NU Sports] Wrigley Stupidity

[Roy S. Lamberton]

Plying Ill-Noise at Wrigley for one of our home games would be giving them another home
game..

HOWEVER, it would give us a better crowd than we'd get a Ryan.

I'm afraid a game with Rice would draw about as much interest as it would up in Evanston,
but without the students a big part of the crowd during Football games.

But we're all guessing here - unfortunately they have to actually play a game before we
know what will happen.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. 
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. 
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. 
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. 
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. 
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's 
       initiative and independence. 
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, 
       what they could and should do for themselves."

Field turnaround issues didn't seem to be a problem during the 50 or so seasons that the 
Cubs and the Bears shared Wrigley Field.  The Cubbies even made it into the World Series 
a few times during that era, all before I was born, though.  :sigh:
