The Building of Wrigley
 
8 Attachment(s)
Have you ever thought of playing a football game in a baseball stadium. Some coaches have turned to this method as a way of recreating nostalgia as well as getting that look of the national pastime.

Right now, I am in the final stages of building Wrigley Stadium for one of my great customers. I am in the home stretch of pulling off one of the best piece of works I've done. In my last two projects of Yankee Stadium and now Wrigley, it takes a great imagination to encompass a baseball only field into a football setting.

These are a few of the shots of the old Yankee Stadium and now the development of Wrigley Field. Wrigley should be finished by Monday but a great deal of detail goes into each stadium.

These looks are in the initial looks and now, as I work, the stadium begins to look like its real life structure.

Now you know that the Chargers have and have always had the best looking uniforms in all of the NFL, nobody can touch that vintage powder blue baby!

I am a Charger from from way back as a kid, even though I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, I have always been a Charger fan. I wanted a 308 with an old school flavor so that's what I designed and Reg nailed it.

I'll agree with you on the Cubs they do suck, always have and always will!:cool:

Out of C-U-B-S you can spell BUCS and they suck too! rtfl$

I wonder who the Wrigley field is for.

Touche, Shabby. I love ALL of RR's creations and I would play Weird Al's BOZOS in one if I could afford one! I used to like the CUBS until the 2005* Season when the WHITE SOX were going to the big dance and CUBS' fans were rooting against them!?! I lost respect for them as fellow Chicagoans and overall sports fans.

BEARS played there for 50 years! Sayers, Butkus, Grange. WOW. I'd like to resurrect them in a Wrigley Field of my own one day!

*Pardon the typo! When did the CUBS win the World Series again? sntht$

Try to get get your facts straight when you are criticizing rtfl$ ...Sox were not in the Big Dance in 2006....try 2005....When you live in Chicago you are either a Cub Fan or A White Sox Fan.....thmbsp$

BTower, When Chicago11 Calls
 
You've got to make the dream come true. I have been privileged to do Wrigley and Yankee Stadium in two of my latest projects. These are historic monuments that I always wanted to visit. I've driven by each one of these stadiums but never got to go in.

I remember Wrigley on TV when I was young. I saw Ernie Banks do his thing in the outfield and never thought I could bring Chicago to me. I remember Reggie Jackson in the 70's doing his thing and wondered about the drama going from Oakland to being a Bronx Bomber. Always wanted to go to that stadium.

I guess the next best thing that I can do is bring these great venues to me. Wrigley may be a dump when you stay across the street from it but when you live 400 and 600 miles away, you appreciate the natural beauty of these monuments. It's kinda like Texas Stadium. Knowing when it opened and having officiated at that stadium, it was not cracked up what I thought it would be but it still remains a hot spot for many who love the NFL.

For me, I am so happy Arlington is the site of the new stadium but the magic that Texas Stadium had will never be lost. They are talking about turning it into some type of eco-environmental residential city once the Cowboys leave.
