He threatened to pull the Cubs out of Chicago if all of his family's plans for the renovation of Wrigley Field aren't approved.
Amongst those plans are a brand new video scoreboard and outfield signs, that would block some neighboring buildings from using their roofs to watch the games.
Almost all of the renovations, to the field and surrounding area, are being paid completely by the Ricketts family.
The family has come to an agreement with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, but the plans still need to be fully approved by the city.
All of the plans are expected to be approved, despite the threats by some of the neighboring buildings to sue, if their views are blocked.
Only in a worse case situation are the Ricketts actually likely to pull the Cubs out of Chicago, leaving it very unclear why the threat was vocalized.
