The problem with the crowd is how many 65 year olds who just want to see it happen once before they die buy up the tickets. They aren't noise makers or the least bit enthusiastic. The Cubs will have to win a world series once before you can clear out all the nostalgic boomers with money who can't be bothered to get loud. After that, the sky high prices will subside a little and louder 40 year old will be able to afford to go. That's mostly spot on. The guy who told me to sit down (2 strike count, 2 outs) was a gramp but chilled after I bought him a beer and told him to drink a little bit. However, I was surrounded by plenty of 30-40 year olds who had their hands in their laps the entire game. No chanting, no clapping, no yelling... I shouldn't be able to hear the catcher's mitt pop in the upper deck in the playoffs.
