Chicago simply doesn't have enough baseball fans to support 2 markets, it never has. Pretty decent article in today's Trib:

Chicago White Sox: Can't fault fans for staying away from U.S. Cellular Field - chicagotribune.com

Wow that from the trib Iam shocked...

 

[brett05]

Tell me your kidding.

Totally not kidding. Roger Bossard (sp) is the greatest groundskeeper. He's a future member into the baseball hall of fame Teams contract for him all the time for his expertise

There's another thread?...pardon me for not bothering to check when the quality of postings in general on this entire MB deserve a D.

And who felt the need to change my thread title?.

Don't forget the "just graduated from Champaign but not quite ready to stop partying" crowd the Cubs tend to attract.

I graduated from Champaign a year ago. :shrug:

what some of you dont get and understand that this is a business. Again JR wants to break even since this is his hobby, maybe his forcast has him in the negative maybe it doesnt, i dont know.

But for people to think that KW is an idiot for this is a bit much. This is a business PR move. The majority of fans of any sport are surface fans, they know the players and basic stat lines and yell "go team". This is fact. KW is preaching to the majority of the fans in the demographic, the minority of the fans are like me and a few other people here that look and understand baseball much deeper than the surace. KW is merely saying this because he knows those surface fans will be the ones that bite. Heres the fact: KW can make moves without taking on salary, that is fact. Deeper fans know this, as the surface fans do not. He is saying this to get more people to the ball park....plain and simple.

Sure he can make moves without taking on salary. Most likely it does not make the team or the organization better and probably makes it worse. Something deeper fans know. However as deeper fans know without attendance getting players that make a difference cost money for which they don't have.

Yes, the original thread title was Pathetic Attendance Figures.

Changing it to KW sounds like someone here is making excuses for the GM and is unrelated to the topic.

What is in the budget has nothing to do w/the fact fans in Oakland of all places are showing up in higher numbers.

that bertucci brothers food is vile, the free beer is good if you drink that sort of piss...

You're trying to compare the cubs and sox food? That is insane. People choose starvation over wrigley food

Food has always been better @the Cell, but Wrigley still allows carry-in soft coolers. Bringing in your own food/drinks for a family of 4 is a significant savings over the Cell. Their carry-in policy only allows 1 lousy bottle of water and a ziplock bag.

doesnt matter. need 1 thread. they are the same round about subject.

Those rules are utilized for MB's with a high volume of posters, not this ghost town.

And I looked on page 1, didn't see anything related anyways.

The thread title isn't even remotely accurate,

I don't do censorship and you're an idiot.
