Oh I'm sure it is, last I heard the city gave it's approval to his renovation plans since it would not utilize taxpayer money. It's those folks that own the rooftop seats that are at odds with him now. They have hinted at a lawsuit if the new video board he has planned obstructs their viewpoint in any way. I've also heard that someone in Schaumburg has offered him free land if he does move the team out of Wrigley.
I took a class called "Baseball and American Culture" last year and Pete Ricketts was one of our guest speakers, he indicated that with all the improvements needed in the ballpark they couldn't afford any big name free agents just yet.
