  2. C.C.
    Why stop there? Might as well go ahead and steal home.
  3. C.C.
    Why not take out Theriot?
  4. C.C.
    We have reason to freak out more then any other teams fans.
  5. C.C.
    Where's the Soto from last year?
  6. C.C.
    Bigger question is how in the hell did Kendall throw him out?
  7. C.C.
    Wow!
  8. C.C.
    I thought Lilly was.
  9. C.C.
    Alright! Time to get some runs. Or not... Pie, Lilly, and Theriot coming up.
  10. C.C.
    Lilly's got that changeup working today.
  11. C.C.
    It would be 12-0. He would've run down and caught that homerun ball.
  12. C.C.
    Well that didn't take long.

    It's amazing how the entire Wrigley thing has escalated. I remember going to Cubs games with my Dad and half the ballpark was empty........on the weekend, no less. It all changed in 1984. Not really. It was really easy to get face value tickets from 85-98. By the end of 98, tickets were hard to get. 98 changed everything. The disaster of 99/00 eased some of the demand, but by then people were hooked and preseason sellouts were the norm. 2003 solidified it and now it'll take a lot to deflate that demand. 1984 was the first time we reached 2 million in attendance, and every year after that (except for 3) we reached 2 million and beyond...So 1984 was a milestone. Yes, it was a milestone, but contrary to popular belief, Wrigley wasn't a sell-out. Crossing the 3 million threshold was a much bigger milestone. That's when the whole Wrigley thing took off, when the rooftop thing went bonkers, and when the cash really started pouring in. 84 started the momentum, but without 98 and 03, the way we know Wrigley now would be completely different. Right.

Well it changed everything for me as a Cub fan. In '84, I went from being a Cub fan resigned to just watching a loser forever, to a Cub fan who was going to get his head chopped off the block actually hoping for a winner. It became a much more tragic, highly-charged experience. Agreed. 1984 proved we can at least get to the playoffs.

    Can't do it....I work in an office with a large number of Cubs fans. Last year I tried blocking out the games a couple of times, and every time it was ruined by someone screaming "ARAMIS HOME RUN!!!" or something like that. There is no way I'd be able to keep the outcome of the game a secret in my office. well how are they watching the game but not you? You don't have to watch the game to know whats going on. Gamecast or a radio feed will do.

    True.

    Aren't the bars in the area also profiting from someone else's product? oh come on, you're smarter than that. It depends on how you consider profiting. I'm sure some good lawyer would try to prove this. Prove what? That the bars are profiting from the Cubs? You can also say the Cubs are profiting from the bars or the scene they created, well before it became hip to party there.

    hundreds, though generally they don't offer single tickets. the cost is in the thousands to rent the rooftop for one game It typically rented out to Corps. at around 120 a head. You figure they can typically squeeze about 75 (guessing) people on average, you're talking about 10 grand a game. yup, sometimes more. So you're talking about $800,000 per rooftop per season, not including what they make off off of food. I'm sure multiple rooftops are owned by the same people Do they own/sublet the apartments too? Or are those things gutted out and just used for entertaining fans? I think some of the rooftops people still live in the lower levels. I think.
