Up For Grabs: Cubs Sale Process Expected To Begin This Week

ISFA Will Keep Wrigley Name If It Acquires Ballpark From Tribune Co.

WRIGLEY: Illinois Sports Facilities Authority (ISFA) Chair James Thompson yesterday after a meeting of the ISFA BOD said that Wrigley Field's "name and historic character" will be protected if the ISFA completes a deal to purchase the ballpark. Thompson: "We certainly would want the name to stay Wrigley." Asked if the ISFA would "sell partial naming rights so that the Wrigley Field name would be linked to another corporate moniker," Thompson responded, "I presume there are people out there who think so highly of Wrigley Field that they would want to be associated with it and therefore would be willing to pay for that privilege. But I have no deals" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 5/8).
