Default Naming rights for Wrigley Field on the table

Quote:
CHICAGO -- The chief executive officer of the Tribune Company said Wednesday he won't hesitate to sell the naming rights to Wrigley Field -- even if baseball purists don't like the idea.

During an interview on CNBC, Sam Zell said despite Wrigley Field being known worldwide, he didn't get a discount because he wasn't going to use the naming rights that the field represents.

It would suck to see Wrigley Field become Verizon Field or Dunkin' Donuts Park, but Wrigley Field has always been an advertisement anyway to be fair.
