Instead of barnstorming his way into Chicago, Miles took the high road and asked
the Cubs if they were interested in selling their un-utilized property to him.
It would be a win-win situation as Miles Wolfe would get the property he really
wanted and not have to go through the process of re-zoning it for pro ball. The
Cubs meanwhile would be able to sell a very expensive piece of Chicagoland property
at a profit. By doing so... this little deal would keep the big league Cubs
and the little Northern League from becooming hostile to each other as Wolfe
embarked into the Cubs protected big league territorial zone. While it wasn't
the 50k seat Wrigley Field II stadium that the area was expecting, this property
would finally get the ballpark it had been waiting for since the mid-1980's
in the way of a brand new 7,400 seat Northern League baseball stadium. |
