Talk:Wrigley Field renovations

Requests for advice

@ User Go Phightins! I created a new article, Wrigley Field renovations. Can you take a look and tell me what you think? Should I add some categories? Baseball? Chicago? Stuff like that. Thanks. ```Buster Seven Talk 23:03, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Hey Buster7. Sorry for the delay. Overall, I would say that the article is pretty good ... I am a little concerned, though, at the scope/title thereof. Are you focusing solely on renovations since the Ricketts family purchased the team? If so, I am not sure that the title should be what it is -- perhaps the specific phase of renovations. Secondarily, I think a better title would be Renovations at Wrigley Field -- it sounds more compliant with the MOS (not sure, just a guess -- perhaps we could start a discussion at WT:BASEBALL on the name and for some additional feedback). I am unfamiliar with other similar articles, so you might get to "write the book" on them :-). Good start; I would seek additional feedback at the aforementioned talk page if I were you; I am rather unversed in how we write articles on stadiums and such.

A few administrative points: I noticed that some text matches or is very close to text in Wrigley Field. I recommend having a look at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia to see how to provide appropriate attribution for text copied from another article. As this article is a spin-out from the Wrigley Field article, at some point you should put {{Main|Wrigley Field renovations}} at the start of the "Renovation" section in the Wrigley Field article. Note that article titles and section headings should follow sentence case, so "renovations" should be lower case in the article title, and similar modifications should be made to various section headings. I think "Wrigley Field renovations" is fine as a title; putting Wrigley first gives it more emphasis and would place it in a more natural location when sorted alphabetically in a list. There may be some resistance to having a spin-out article, but I think there should be sufficient significant information on the construction process to warrant it, particularly if the article is kept up-to-date. Happy writing! isaacl (talk) 03:17, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) One other style issue. MOS says no wikilinks in section headers. I like the subject. You rock, Buster7. John from Idegon (talk) 03:30, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, my friends, so much for all the replies and suggestions. I welcome all your advice and will make the changes soon. @ GoP...Yes, the article is only about the current on-going renovations that will take 4 years to complete. Any helpful discussion at Baseball would be great. @ Isaacl...Yes, I did "lift" from the Wrigley Field article to get some "meat on the bones" and the references that came with. I will make the changes you suggest. @John...Thanks, I'll make that change too. Also, I am going to cut and paste this discussion to the article talk page. Right now I am using it (the talk page) as a notebook of sorts. ```Buster Seven Talk 05:55, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

The famous trough urinals

Yes, gentlemen, there is good news. The troughs will stay. Why should future young Cubs fans be deprived of that special fragrance that only 75,000 plus male Cubs fans can create? 75000? Simple math.... approximately 25000 males in attendance + 3 trips to the "john" for each = 75000. I'm not sure how to add this little nugget of info into the article. Any ideas?

The primary focus of the first phase of The 1060 Project (completed in 2015) was structural work to prepare Wrigley Field for enhancements and improvements over the course of the construction plan. Another focus was expanding and improving the left- and right-field bleachers, as well new outfield signs.Overseeing the project is Carl Rice, vice president of the Wrigley Field restoration and expansion — a role he took on in July 2015 (he was previously vice president, ballpark operations). Three pillars of the project are historic preservation, connectivity/technology, and sustainability. And during a recent press tour of the stadium, Rice described The 1060 Project as “bringing the ballpark into the future… without changing a thing.”

Earliest stages of the 1060 Project plan included structural work to prepare the stadium for enhancements and improvements over the 5-year term of the construction process; specifically, improved player facilities, new fan amenities, outfield signage, expanded concessions, new and improved restroom facilities and the improvement and expansion of the left and right field bleachers. The basic and on-going concepts of the project are historic preservation, connectivity/technology, and sustainability. Carl Rice, vice president of restoration and expansion, described the project as "bringing the ballpark into the future...without changing a thing." Which is a tad much.

Photo requests

Just a suggestion: is there a possibility that one or more of the photographers who share with the blog www.bleedcubbieblue.com might share here? They have been generous there, and as thorough in their documentation of the changes as public citizens can be.
