    The Red Sox and Cardinals have always allowed buyers to purchase tickets for multiple games in one transaction, but the Cubs have not. I doubt they change that this year. I'd prefer that they did allow multiple purchases in one transaction. As it is, buyers pay separate fees for each game. The multiple service charges does suck but unless you get through right away I think you would get shut out more often then not. How they do it now gives everyone a chance at getting non White Sox tickets if a person is dedicated in getting the tickets.

    Is there interest for a day when NSBB posters will meet up at Wrigley. I tried this last year but the day everyone chose I could not make. Does anyone want to do this? Bleachers are probably the best bet so people can sit together. (Maybe people could work together on getting tix) I really don't have a date for this, as I will let the people who can make it decide which is the best for everyone. If I can't make it I can't make it. If interested please post here. Could a Mod please pin this to the top until February 22nd if it won't be an issue?

    Sports from mid January to March are pitiful. You got the Superbowl and for NASCAR fans the Daytona 500. Outside of that you got NBA, NHL and College Bball regular season which unless you are a die hard fan you don't care about.

    Saw on the Red Sox site you could get multiple games once you got in. Since MLB likes to stremline things I'm guessing the Cubs will do the same thing. I'm not sure I like this. If you don't get in right away you are probably screwed.

    As a visitor to the area this is great if they put a hotel there and only a hotel there. There are very few places to stay in the area. I'm not a fan of residence living. Also reducing it by 3 floors may be a good thing.

    Me too. I did find out that the most windows I can open in IE is 48. Couldn't get Firefox to open more then one window. Glad the Cubs start on a Friday. I'm guessing a Saturday makes the demand on the first day even higher.

    I wonder since they had the sale to people on the Season Ticket waiting list if tix on the 2-22-08. I'm guessing that winning the central '07 will be a bigger issue

    You got good points. But I don't think all of them are valid. Increased revenue for owners like 1 million percent-I know 1,000,000 is an exaguration on your point but your point still has merit. Players make way more than they used to without having to agree to a salary cap-true Nearly every team got a new stadium, most had a great deal of public funding-I'm not sure that's such a good thing for the various communities The Wild Card was implemented and has led to numerous wild card champions-The best thing he did Baseball got some great TV and advertising revenues-true Competitive balance has been nearly as good as football, despite the lack of a salary cap- completely disagree. You have to be really smart in small markets. Minnesota has sucess but Kansas City has not. There are many teams that know they don't got a chance every year. While in football everybody thinks they got a chance. Baseball returned to Washington DC, the nation's capital-time will tell if this is a good thing. Others teams have failed here. After a few years the Nationals may be struggling financially too. Attendance is at its highest point ever, both in terms of total attendance and % of seats sold-true He has done good things but I think baseball could do better with someone else.

    This is a a meh move. If he wasn't an ex-cub people wouldn't be calling the worst move ever.

    It was early November. I think it was November 3, but I may be off a day or so. Thanks for the info I'll have to remember that next year.

    I have a stupid question but when did these passes go on sale? One of these years I think I'd like to go to this.

    Anybody going to watch the BC vs MSU game. Go Big Ten Go Spartans.

    Maybe the Holiday Bowl won't be a good bowl this year.
  15. hawkcub
    Speaking of non BCS games UT vs ASU in the Holiday bowl is on tonight, probably the best non Jan. 1 game. Granted playing on Jan. 1 is not quite the same as before. Go ASU BTW UT's up by 7.

    I would be shocked if they even considered blocking it. That would be incredibly stupid, and they'd have no right or justification. For goodness sake, it's named after an owner/corporation already. Very true but it's been Wrigley for decades. It's one of the few places where casual and even non baseball fans can answer the following question: What is the name of the place where the Chicago Cubs play? Baseball is about history and this would be an attack on baseballs history.
  17. hawkcub
    If it was renamed you don't think MLB would block that. It's Wrigley Field for crying out loud.

    In which of these games do you believe the Big Ten is going to pull off the upset? It's interesting to me that you make excuses and accuse Meph of making excuses in the same post. Newsflash for you OSU is the number 1 rated team. Yes, thanks for commenting on the price of tea in China. The spread, however, is LSU -4. So sorry I didn't bow down to what is the SEC conference. Remember your the one who said the big ten was going to lose all 3 games. Good luck with that.

    Funny to see the Cards bash there own player when trying to get rid of them. Sounds cublike.

    I find it interesting this thread is only 4 pages long 24 hrs. after the story broke. I know it's the off season but a story like this usually goes 20 pages by this time. It just shows how much Cub fans are sick of the Mark Prior drama.

    Does this really upset anyone. He had been insinuating for a while he really didn't want to be a Cub. If things don't work out in SD the guys finished.

    I can't believe nobody posted anything about Marian Gaborik's 5 goal game. Last time that was done was 1996 by Federov. He was soooooo close to number 6 and that would have tied the modern record for goals scored in a game. 7 is the all time record.

    Why are people even in the least bit surprised Clemens was on steroids. No way a pitcher should be able to pitch like that at his age.

    Those are some high increases for what we got on the field. Last year I made 7 games the year before that 8. This year it's looking like 5 games might be doable. At this rate of price increases in 3 years I'll be lucky to be able to afford 1 or 2.
