Wrigley Protest Update

A group calling itself "Cubs Nation" plans to protest Tribune ownership -- or leadership, it's not entirely clear -- of the Cubs on March 27 at 11:30 a.m. in front of the big red marquee on Wrigley Field, at Clark and Addison Streets. They still need a city permit to assemble, which might be a problem with a game scheduled less than an hour later. If the group gets the permit and sticks to its guns by targeting the Tribune rather than the Cubs, it should make things very awkward for the world's largest small-town rag. More power to them. This should be fun to watch.
