"Even well-known critic and Chicagoan, Roger Ebert is up in arms about this. He said he'd cancel his Field's acct and urges everyone to do the same! Please rethink this terrible decision for us and for your business. Hey, why didn't you change Bloomingdale"
"If the store wants more profit, I would suggest they keep the name as is for marketing recognition purposes. Federated sounds like a business building not a great place to find great items."
"Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Macy's, but the fact of the matter is that Macy's is New York and Marshall Field's is Chicago!!!!"
"Marshall Field's is a Chicago landmark--don't change tradition!"
"I love Chicago because it is unique. I don't want to be New York as I am sure they don't want to be Chicago. What's next? Will they change Wrigley Field to Mcdonald's Field."
"Marshall Field's is "Chicago" in a way that Macy's will never be. Under Macy's, the store will not achieve the same degree of success and loyalty. Without its history, Marshall Field's is just any old store."
"Marshall Fields is a name that is known throughout generations of families within the chicago area. It is one of the names that makes chicago special."
"Marshall Fields is a landmark department store in Chicago - Why would you take away the history?"
"lost a good customer"
"WHO CARES!"
"The name Marshall Field is as much of an institution as the name Macy--keep it!"
"I plan to cancel my Fields charge account should the name change go through"
"Why change what already works well in Chicago? The name Macy's has no history or meaning to us in Chicago!"
