Renovated Wrigley Field still has same charm ahead of Winter Classic
Since Wrigley Field opened for the Chicago Whales of the Federal League in 1914 (the Cubs moved in for the 1916 season), it has hosted baseball, hockey, soccer, lacrosse and football in addition to such other events such as ski jumping, rock concerts, rodeos and circuses.
Whether early in the 20th century or early in the 21st, the charm of the ballpark has been its appeal, no matter the amenities.
“The fact that Wrigley itself out of all the ballparks is so unique,” Dempster said. “You’re in this neighborhood. It’s almost like the really cool version of having pond hockey in your backyard, in a weird way. These guys are going to be playing outdoors in the middle of a neighborhood. It’s just so cool.
“The vision that the NHL had of doing this (first Winter Classic) in 2008 in Buffalo, and I was at the first one at Wrigley, with all the things they’ve done, it’s just different. Wrigley is unlike any other stadium, arena, ballpark, you name it around the U.S. The uniqueness is what make it so special. The stuff around it, Gallagher Way. The park has been refurbished and all that kind of stuff. I think the integrity of it is still the same. That’s what’s so great. When they did all those renovations, it still feels like the old Wrigley when you’re in there, which is really cool.”
Kenney echoed those sentiments.
“Today, seeing the plans for the Winter Classic, with live music from the Smashing Pumpkins and Chance (the Rapper), multiple ice rinks, elaborate field pageantry and an amplified Gallagher Way, the original game feels like watching a rerun in black and white. Simple stuff.
“The NHL has really upped their game for the players, fans and media partners. Their level of sophistication and game production rivals the biggest rock shows that have come through our gates. Amazing talent there. Our fans are in for a [heck] of show.”
If Wrigley Field is indeed a field of dreams, Kenney concluded with a soliloquy that sounded like the character Terence Mann in the movie “Field of Dreams.”
“But the one constant is Wrigley Field,” Kenney said. “It’s now a federal landmark and restored for the next generation, with new amenities and an expanded campus. But the essence of the Friendly Confines remains the same. She’s still the unrivaled home of lifetime memories. More will be made on New Year’s Eve.”

James Gunn is Playing With Fire: The Unforgivable Past of Guy Gardner That Even Nathan Fillion’s Charm Can’t Save in ‘Superman’
James Gunn’s upcoming Superman movie is set to introduce Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, a Green Lantern with a controversial comic book past. While fans are eager to see Fillion’s interpretation of the character, questions arise about how the Dcu will navigate Gardner’s problematic history, including moments that reflect poorly on his character even within the canon of the comics.This, unfortunately, includes the one instance when Gardner was seen, at least momentarily, considering ra***g a knocked down Power-Girl. While highly unlikely that any interpretation of this scene will make its way to Superman, the fact that Gardner is in fact, part of the movie, is bound to raise concern.

Guy Gardner’s history in DC Comics is marked by moments…
James Gunn is Playing With Fire: The Unforgivable Past of Guy Gardner That Even Nathan Fillion’s Charm Can’t Save in ‘Superman’James Gunn, known for his work on the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, is set to tackle the world of DC Comics with his upcoming film ‘Superman’. However, Gunn may be playing with fire by including the character of Guy Gardner, a former Green Lantern with a controversial past that may be unforgivable.
Guy Gardner is known for his brash and arrogant personality, often clashing with his fellow superheroes and causing trouble wherever he goes. But it’s his dark history that may prove to be his undoing in ‘Superman’.
In the comics, Guy Gardner has been portrayed as a racist and sexist character, making derogatory comments towards women and people of color. These actions have led many fans to label him as an unforgivable character, with some even calling for his removal from the DC universe altogether.
Even the charm of actor Nathan Fillion, who is rumored to be playing Guy Gardner in ‘Superman’, may not be enough to save the character from his past transgressions. While Fillion is known for his likable and charismatic performances, he may not be able to overcome the stain of Guy Gardner’s history.
James Gunn has a reputation for taking risks with his films, but including Guy Gardner in ‘Superman’ may be a risk too far. The character’s unforgivable past may prove to be too much for even Gunn to handle, and could ultimately lead to backlash from fans and critics alike.
Only time will tell if James Gunn can navigate the treacherous waters of Guy Gardner’s past and deliver a successful ‘Superman’ film. But one thing is for certain – he’s playing with fire by including such a controversial character in his latest project.
