I have a friend with seasons tickets on the aisle there at section 242 on the closer to home plate side. The row across the aisle from his has one seat – only one seat. If toy stand up next to the fence right behind that seat, you get a beautiful view down the right field line to home plate. It’s very panoramic and the ballpark just sprawls out in front of you.
You all realize of course, this scoreboard/Budweiser Patio thing is just a smokescreen...
Everyone’s being extremely hush hush, but my source (Deep Bloat) tells me Ricketts is looking to out-do Miami and their spinning marlins HR monstrosity.
Not sure on all the details yet, but it sounds like every time Cubs hit a HR, there’ll be a big Cubbie roar over the PA system and a complete bear mini-habitat (designed by our good friends over at the Lincoln Park Zoo) rises up from behind the RF wall in that area. A ferocious cub comes running out of a cave, with Ronnie Woo Woo strapped onto his back like a bronco-buster, yelling “Cubs Woo Home Woo Run Woo Cubs Woo!”.
Lots of fireworks go off, the cub gets startled and throws Ronnie off his back and into the home run basket which has now been turned into a moat of sorts, filled with all kind of snakes, piranhas, alligators, etc, graciously provided by many many anonymous donors. Then as the mini-habitant sinks back down, Ronnie then has to scramble out of the basket, get back into the holding area and get strapped on to the cub to be ready for the next home run.
I love that shot

Talking about Lincoln Park Zoo and alligators
put that old song from Ark in the Park in my head.
