Cubs Fans Can Charge with Cubs and Wrigley
Summary:
As the Chicago Cubs make strides in the National League Central, their fans are also getting a unique chance to grab a piece of baseball history. The city is selling off items from Wrigley Field, and this opportunity is both exciting and potentially problematic.---
Chicago Cubs fans now have the chance to own a piece of Wrigley Field, with items for sale ranging from $5 ticket stubs to a miscolored stadium seat priced at $1,500. There’s something for every budget, and a detailed guide to available memorabilia helps navigate these offerings.
In a twist, purchases can be made with credit cards, raising concerns about potential over-spending. With the average American household already carrying significant credit card debt, this option might lead passionate fans to spend beyond their means. Although the proceeds support a good cause, the temptation could prove overwhelming for die-hard supporters.
Imagine the surprise on a credit card bill for $1,000 spent on Wrigley memorabilia. Conversations might arise like:
"Honey, why are there old bleacher chairs in our living room?"
To fund these purchases, some might even sell their furniture, fabricating stories about its historical significance.
"What if they can't pay their credit card bill? Would items from Wrigley be repossessed? Worse yet, losing a home or having wages garnished over a few bricks seems a steep price. Yet, each brick comes with a map showing exactly where it was within the ballpark, adding a unique touch.
This sale could set a precedent for cities needing to fund new stadiums. Selling parts of old ones could help offset costs. Even a modest $1,000 contribution per piece would ease the taxpayer burden.
Consider Indianapolis, where a 24-year-old, 63,000-seat stadium was scrapped for a costly $1 billion replacement. Cubs fans are witnessing entrepreneurial innovation that’s remarkably close to home.
While the Cubs’ initiative is a clever way to generate revenue, the credit card angle is worrisome. With strict bankruptcy laws in place, there's a risk that avid fans could fall into deep debt.
This is one reason why I avoid credit cards altogether. The possibilities for leveraging memorabilia sales to fund other initiatives are endless, whether paying for national expenses or addressing budget deficits.
In the end, the excitement of owning a piece of Wrigley Field comes with responsibilities. Cubs fans might just want to think twice before swiping their cards.
