Wrigley is old. I don't think there's anyway around that. It doesn't have a lot of the amenities of the newer stadiums. The bathrooms are ridiculous, the food sucks, the place is slowly falling apart and the bleachers have a plenty of obnoxious characters. On the other hand, it's an insult to the history of the game to not bring a child to see a stadium that gives a glimpse to the early years of baseball. I brought my first born to Wrigley before she was 6 months old. The experience is what you decide to make of it. Obviously the bleachers aren't the best place for kids. Other than that, Wrigley is a special place.
That said, I'd still have no problem with a new/different stadium. Wrigley field has history, but it hasn't been positive from a baseball perspective. Since that won't happen anytime soon, I really hope they make the triangle building something decent. The last thing you want to do is push away players because your facilities suck.
