http://tinyw.in/oPre 小熊老板老早开始收购球场附近的不动产 目前看来外场的老板们败象已露 小熊老板已经和部份软化立场的球场外观众席拥有者讨论收购事宜 With the long delayed Wrigley Field renovation project finally underway and the demolition of the bleachers the first step in a $575 million overhaul of the stadium and surrounding area, the big question is what will happen with the rooftops that have long opposed the stadium renovation plan. That icy relationship which has long been contentious and had both sides threatening litigation over the past several years may be thawing and could see a number of the rooftop buildings sold to the Ricketts family. Multiple sources have confirmed to me over the past few days that negotiations are going on between the Cubs and several owners of rooftop buildings on both Waveland and Sheffield that border the bleachers in both left and right field. The negotiations, which had been superficial since the Ricketts family purchased the Cubs in October of 2009, heated up recently after the renovation plan received final approval from the City of Chicago. According a source close to the rooftops, the negotiations have taken on a much friendlier spirit with both sides trying to find a common ground that helps the Ricketts family address their renovation and signage needs, eliminates the threat of litigation for potentially blocking some rooftop views into the ballpark and provides a financial deal that the rooftop owners can find acceptable. “Despite years of acrimonious negotiations and public sniping that has pitted the two sides against one another, things have gotten much better. The Ricketts family has been amazingly fair, and Tom has been a man of his word throughout these latest discussions. He and his brothers and sister want the rooftop owners to get a fair deal, and Tom has been clear in his instructions to the rest of his team that he wants things handled that way. Now what they think is fair and what the rooftop owners think is fair could still end up being two entirely different things but I believe that a deal will get done before Opening Day,” a source with extensive knowledge of the talks told me tonight. Another source who has worked closely with the rooftops for the past several years confirmed to me tonight that a handful of rooftops are not dealing from the strongest financial position and are looking to get out from under heavy financial pressure that came about from a number of factors. Loans taken to upgrade their buildings, the last place finishes by the Cubs over the past five years and a negative public perception of the rooftop businesses that was generated during the stalled renovation negotiations have all contributed to a willingness to sell their buildings if the Ricketts family offers fair market value. “I believe that a deal will get done with some of the owners of the buildings and it could be done before Opening Day but it will happen if and only if what they are hearing from Tom and Crane Kenney comes to fruition. It appears that there is a middle ground but until contracts are signed nothing is guaranteed to happen,” a rooftop source told me. It is believed that George Loukas, who is one of the most successful businessmen in Wrigleyville has been negotiating with the Cubs to finalize a sale of at least one of his rooftop buildings. Loukas would not comment when I reached him by phone but multiple sources confirmed to me that he has been in discussions and those talks are closing in on a deal. A handful of other building owners have also reportedly had discussions with the Cubs and those talks are also believed to have moved well beyond the exploratory stage. -- やっ..........！！！！！！止めろペイモンこの野郎～～～～～～っ 地狱でいきなり圣书なんえ 読み上げやがってえ~~~~~~~~~っ！！杀すえおっ！！ --
