Mark McGuire Quotations

Since we put up the lights (in 1988), we make an effort to have the new projects look as if they've always been here. Our goal is to have you sit in the seats in the regular grandstand and look out and see the seats filled with fans, you will be hard-pressed to notice the difference.

He would have liked to go right to the next match. He's not given up an offensive point in the last month.

We had heard some rumblings that it might close, but no one thought it would. We're kind of in a state of shock right now. They need to practice this week, they have sectional swim meet at the end of the week.

We're trying to recreate the culture that existed before.

We will put ourselves in better position to have long-term success if we take a year off. We have the option in our contract with the league to take one season off and come back next year and still maintain our territorial rights.

The truth was the old bleachers were really not a very good situation for someone in a wheelchair. When you build something in the 1930s, it wasn't built to accommodate wheelchairs.

In the short term, there's revenue, obviously. But long term, we're creating more Cubs fans.

The goal is that it looks very much like it did before.
