What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA quick note for anyone just tuning in: ESPN says one rooftop owner is the last holdout in Wrigleyville, still fighting the Chicago Cubs.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOne guy versus a whole franchise. Roll the tape, this is file footage from the archive, not his actual roof.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLook at this, the wide shot. Stadium in the middle, neighborhood hugging it.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHere it comes, the closer angle. Watch the infield, that tan and green is elite.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorRun it back.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYou mentioned you weren't interested.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThere, the ballpark is wedged between the houses like a guest who won't leave. I said seven earlier. I was cheap.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentViral Score: nine out of ten, because every roof on that block just became a luxury box.
