This will be a fun meeting. Imagine if you own a bar that you invested a ton of cash in and the Cubs are walking away for a season.

This one will be fun.

That season would suck for them, but all the Cubs have to say is "well, either we walk away for one season or build a new stadium elsewhere and walk away permanently." Course maybe they would have to charge $2 for a bottle of beer instead of $5!

They would be fools to consider the latter. Those bars have made millions off of the Cubs. So they need to deal with it for the one season.

Maybe some of those bars could bring in bands to keep some people coming in, but certain people in Wrigleyville don't seem to like loud music either.

There are bars that exist outside of the 1 mile radius surrounding Chicago. Get some tips from those bars as to how they survive.

The last thing we need is more karaoke

Maybe Ricketts can get taxpayer dollars to hand out to the impacted businesses. Not much difference between that and the Cubs getting taxpayer dollars.

The Cubs should tell these people to pound sand. If anything, these bars should be kissing their ass so they don't leave for a better location permanently.

Or that they don't have the city change the zoning and they put in a Wal Mart and Best Buy there.

Why don't they all become Boystown West for a year. Everywhere you go you run into homosexuals, so just go gay for a year and they'll all come and pack it in!

I'd tell them to sell the bar if they think it will matter.
