    Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago Allison Fore Public and Intergovernmental Affairs Officer 312.751.6633 [email protected] Press Release 100 East Erie Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611 For immediate release October 28, 2016 It might…It could be…It is… flowing to O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant Holy Cow, O’Brien WRP receives World Series, Wrigley Field flow Any Wrigley Field beer vendor or Wrigleyville bar owner can tell that sales in recent weeks have spiked to unrivaled proportions during the Cubs’ historic trek to the World Se- ries. But what’s flowing in the pipes below Wrigley Field can really tell the story. The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) treats hundreds of millions of gallons of wastewater at its O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) in Skokie. Stormwater and sewage from Wrigley Field and neighborhoods north of Fullerton Avenue drain into local sewers before traveling north for treatment at the O’Brien WRP. Although treatment plant operators have not seen a significant spike in the amount of inflow or trends in sewer elevation, all hands are on deck as the Cubs play their first home World Series games since 1945 this weekend. “We are happy to support our Cubs and their fans as they take another step closer to a celebration 108 years in the making,” said MWRD Commissioner Debra Shore. “Much like a sacrifice bunt, we at the MWRD are happy to play a role that is not recognized in the stat sheets or score cards. At the MWRD, we are confident we can keep up with the hundreds of thousands of Cubs (and Indians) fans throng- ing Wrigley Field and Wrigleyville who all deserve good service.” Wrigley Field.

  • It's Been a Bear Being a Cubs Fan!
    NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For interview requests contact: Heather Phelan (913) 948-7635 Email: [email protected] It’s Been A Bear Being A Cubs Fan! Chicago, January 20, 2017 — That’s how Grandpa Bruno tells his two cubby-bear grandchildren about waiting, and waiting, and waiting for a World Series for many decades. But Bruno also showed a lot of patience and love. “Never give up!” he kept telling them. This heartwarming story is the centerpiece of the only children’s book on what it took for the Chicago Cubs, with the support of their long deserving fans, to win the 2016 World Series. The storyline in Go Cubs Go, Baseball’s Never Give Up Story (Ascend Books) echoes the life of author Marv Levy. Yes, the Hall of Fame football coach who is a life-long Cubs fan having grown up on Chicago’s South Side. Award-winning illustrator Rob Peters adds color to Levy’s words via his vivid illustrations. And Chicago’s renowned baseball historian and longtime author George Castle educates the reader about the Cubs’ all-time dates, names, achievements and quotes. Yes, the Chicago Cubs are the 2016 World Series Champions. In Go Cubs Go!, Bruno the Bear takes his grandkids through his own journey as a fan, all the way back to 1929, rooting for great players and teams that fell short of the World Series. The Cubs’ quest for October seemed endless. But Bruno never lost his enthusiasm. Someday, he knew the Cubs would win. He and his family enjoyed going to Wrigley Field, where so many good things happened except the Fall Classic through the years.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

Above: Wrigley Field is located in the Lake View community area on Chicago’s North Side. The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommending to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the land- marks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process.
