HoHoKam Stadium Comes Before Wrigley!

I think the Cubs have to be the only team in sports more concerned about where they are playing their practice games than where they are playing their real games. While a Collier County, Fla., group may well be serious in its effort to lure the Cubs away from Mesa, Ariz., the chances of the Cubs leaving the greater Phoenix area in the foreseeable future appear to be slim to none, based on the logistical headaches already driving major league teams away from Florida, the Cubs’ centerpiece position in Arizona’s Cactus League and common sense. The Cubs are using a looming deadline for opting out of their contract with Mesa to court other offers while seeking upgrades to their existing HoHoKam Stadium and Fitch Park facilities to bring them more in line with newer, grander facilities in the Phoenix area such as the one shared by the White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers in Glendale. I can’t help but laugh that the Cubs literally are more concerned about the ballpark they play a few practice games in than the one they play 81 games in. The Cubs already have the highest attendance in spring games. Maybe they’d think about adding some modern **** to Wrigley before they worry about something stupid like Spring Training. It’s good to see that the new owner is doing the same stupid **** the old owner did.
