Also, as much as I love Wrigley, it's in ROUGH shape. The place needs a major overhaul, and I don't know about you, but I would much rather those upgrades be paid for with ad revenue as opposed to some shady deal that uses public funds.

I am not opposed to any part of the plan EXCEPT for the LED displays.
It is undeniable that this will be a major distraction from the game and the whole experience. Most importantly - it will look like garbage.
Your argument that you are "watching the game and it won't matter unless it is on home plate" is absurd.
1. If people weren't going to look at them then that would defeat the point of advertisement.
2. Baseball is a passive sport for the spectator in many ways. Often your mind wanders and you do look around to appreciate the scenery. Wrigley is the most gorgeous scenery in all of professional sports. One most be delicate when making any modification and the LED screens are far from delicate.
