Here lies a Cubs fan

by Tony Baldwin on July 11th, 2008

So here’s a new one… how about a cemetery that is only for fans of a certain team? That’s right. A Chicago Cubs fan has teamed up with Bohemian National Cemetery to create “Beyond the Vines,” a place where only Cubbies fans can go after death. Believe it or not, it’s true.

The cemetery will have a replica of Wrigley Field’s wall covered in ivy. And for $5,000 - “season ticket holders” can rest eternally in the cemetery. This shrine will be similar to one in Cooperstown - where those laid to rest will have their face shown off on a bronze baseball card plaque and urn.

Leave it up to a Cubs fan to come up with such a crazy idea. I’m almost positive that this idea will however catch on in other towns. Anyone interested in being buried beneath the Green Monster or in a true Yankee monument park?
