I wouldn't go that far. Its still the same diamond that Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Ernie Banks, and Stan Musial played on.
But its not nearly the same as it once was. Its not nearly as special. And I.think the same can be said of Fenway.
Well Cobb, Ruth et al weren't making 100s of millions of dollars in the era in which Wrigley was built. Stadiums used to be named after the owners of the team like Joe Robbie, Wrigley, Comiskey bla bla bla now they're all named after juice companies or predatory mortgage lenders.
Wrigley still mostly feels like old Wrigley. But it's an old ass out of date dump. If they could raze wrigley field and build RedTube park and Porno Emporium and they Cubs win another world series I'm fine with it.
