Are you sure that's Wrigley? It kinda looks more like a large crowd at new Comiskey.

To those of us that grew up in the 70s- early 80s those scenes were the rule not the exception. Back then you could sneak up to the box seats after the third inning and the ushers didn't even care because it made the place look less empty on TV.

 

With the Cubs success over the last 10 years, the fans have been much more likely to boo their own players as has been well documented. The difference is that Cub fans take a lot longer time before they start booing a bad player.

 

In my experience, people from Philly are basically low class, cheap rude, jerks and that reputation seems to follow them whereever they go because it is perpetuated by the media.

 

Of course, the same people that talk about Philly fans booing Santa Clause are the same ones that say Cub fans don't really want to win the WS because they wouldn't be able to complain about not having won.

Cubs fans can be absolutely brutal. I've been to games in the last 10 years where if you had your eyes closed and listened you'd think you were in Philly.

You've never been to Philly then. Cubs fans can be bad, Philly fans openly boo their best players while they are playing well. I go to 1-2 games every year in Philly, and several in Chicago. It's no comparison.

You know you've entered a new chapter of Cubs fans when a group of them jump the fence, charge the players lot and try to beat up Latroy Hawkins.
