Obstructed Views From The Rooftops

from the Chicago Tribune,
Wrigleyville rooftop owners stopped just short of a lawsuit with complaints that video screens erected for Thursday’s Winter Classic in the right and leftfield corners of Wrigley Field would obstruct the view of their own paying customers.
Cubs chairman Crane Kenney confirmed that the longtime acrimony between the rooftop owners and the baseball team has spilled over into the hockey arena with threatening letters sent to the club objecting to the 16-by-14-foot screens.
“They’re not located to block the views of the rooftops,” said NHL spokesman Frank Brown, “but out of respect to certain quirks in Wrigley’s architecture. They’re as out of the way as they can be.”
