Minor League Discussion & Boxes 5-7-14
Lenny replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
We played the Celebrity Party game at Thanksgiving one year, one of my submissions was Larry Hagman, and then he died the next day. I've done that with Artie Lange for most of the past decade. Son of a bitch is made of steel. -
I feel like the Indians are a good comparison here. During the late 90s and the time Jacobs Field was built, they were a winning team and sold out every single game. That is just not true anymore, and thats considering they were a playoff team last year. The fan base was irrecoverably hurt. I realize we're the Cubs and everything is a bit different with us but man, your typical meatball fan is PISSED, and those meatball fans money spends just like ours does. The Chicago metro area has 7 million plus more people than Cleveland, and the ballpark is a destination for tourists. EDIT: Not super relevant to that point, but their sell out streak was a sham. Right. Wrigley will always be a destination. Whether that's bad or good I'm not so sure about anymore.
