A kid-friendly Wrigley Field?

Wrigley Field

I’ve only been to Wrigley Field a couple of times, but it never struck me as a particularly kid-friendly place. But the Cubs are thinking about making some kid-friendly changes:

The Cubs are teaming up with Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management to conduct a survey involving kids’ experiences at Wrigley Field, asking selected fans to help provide the “right opportunities for your kids to connect with the team and grow as the next generation” of fans.

Items included in the survey: “batting cages and radar gun zones, kids apps for smartphones and tablets, a kids section, a new Cubs song and ‘interaction with a mascot.’”

Mascot? Introducing for 2014: Bleachy: an oversized, shirtless dude from Lincoln Park drinking Old Style and shunning his friends from the smaller Midwestern city in which he used to live/Big 10 college he used to attend because they don’t appreciate the cultural opportunities that Chicago offers. He’ll only last a few years, though. After that he’s gonna get married and move to a north suburb that has all the same crap his friends back home have.
