On Wednesday, Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts said he would consider moving the team out of 99-year-old Wrigley Field if plans for renovations needed to generate revenue to compete were blocked.

On Thursday, an independent league baseball team, the Schaumburg Boomers, who play their home games 25 miles west of Wrigley, offered the Cubs a chance at playing games at their park should those renovations fall through.

The only stipulation: The Boomers get first dibs on playing dates and times.

"We did this to have some good-natured fun," said Andy Viano, president and general manager of the Frontier League team. "It's a good way to tell people what we have to offer."

Although the Boomers' park holds only 7,365 fans, the field's dimensions are identical to those at Wrigley.

The team's pitch? Its most expensive ticket is $10.

"That will get you in the front row behind the dugout," Viano said.

A 20-ounce beer and a hot dog cost a combined $7, according to Viano. Plus, the team offers free parking.

Viano said that if the Cubs want, he's willing to grow ivy on the outfield walls, but he can't offer much to replicate the Wrigleyville atmosphere.
