Yeah, I saw Samardzija listed in one source, Silva in another..... so I flipped a coin. Life is like that sometimes.

Well maybe the real dumb people. Regardless, that team was 2 full disappointing seasons removed from a playoff appearance and coming off a sub .500 record. The excitement level was not the same as it was in February 2004 or February 2008. When the Cubs win, they sell out the next year immediately. When they struggle, they take time to sell. When they do poorly they won't sell out the next year. When you quantify that difference in excitement level...... the difference is relatively small......... 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 # Dates 59 80 81 81 81 81 Attendance 2285510 3168859 3301200 3252862 3123221 3139322 Capacity 41210 41210 41210 41118 41118 41118 % Capacity 0.9400 0.9612 0.9890 0.9767 0.9377 0.9426 Average 38737 39611 40756 40159 38558 38757 High 41406 41619 41730 41909 41698 40488 Low 33868 33299 37812 32126 27105 36791 Std Dev 2003.8 1804.6 834.7 1774.8 2594.7 739.9 Sellouts 4 10 30 22 5 0
