Come on Butcher, it's not as if you're going to have Budweiser advertisements burned into your retinas by the end of the game. You're being just a little bit dramatic.
I honestly see some possible concerns with the jumbotron. I understand some people may be concerned that the jumbotron will take away from the "Wrigley field atmosphere". Everyone says that when you go to Wrigley, you're forced to sit there, watch and enjoy the game, and talk with the person sitting next to you. You're not evertained like an 8 year old much like other ball parks. I don't think a jumbotron takes away from that atmosphere. I guess it could eventually lead to dancing cartoon characters between innings and the organ being supplanted by a disc jockey, but I think you worry about those things when they come. You can be pissed off at the dancing jockstrap when it rears it's ugly head.
Until then, do you really honestly believe that a jumbotron is going to take away from the game that much? I would say it takes away about as much as streaming stats/replays on smart phones would.
For the record, I'm in favor of both streaming phone stats/replays too. Just not exclusively.
