OT: if you needed any more reasons to hate the Yankees...

Wrigley and Fenway aren't going anywhere. Improvements will continue. The Wrigley bleachers were redone that they are stellar.

If Chicago gets the Olympics, I would put money on the Cubs retrofitting the Olympic stadium to play baseball there for a year while the Wrigley grandstands are rebuilt/renovated.

That wouldn't be a bad idea, but they have already said the Olympic Stadium will be torn down after the Olympics because it would be financed by future expected Olympic revenue and the IOC doesn't want cities to use Olympic revenue to finance permanent facilities.  If you ask me, I think its pretty stupid to build a $300 million stadium and then tear it down; but obviously I'm not making those calls.  Of course Chicago needs to get the bid first anyway.

I thought that it was going to be decreased in size since there was no need for an olympic size stadium and that it would be used for concerts and such since the stadium's grandstands will just be temporary.
