I'm not arguing with you but look at any baseball historian's "top ballparks to see a game" and Wrigley is right up there with Fenway and the old Yankee Stadium. I would be surprised if you've seen a game outside of the ghetto where U.S. Cellular lies.
So if Cubs fans can go to all those day games because they don't work (your words), how are they yuppies? Contradiction anybody????
About the only factual statement you made was the one about 2005 being before 1908. I won't argue with you there but you need to turn down "Glory Days" by Bruce Springsteen and return to 2009.
I've been to the same amount of Cubs games as I have Sox games and "The Cell" doesn't hold a candle to Wrigley, in my opinion and I'm not alone. I remember the good ole days at "The Cell" when it was half price Tuesday and brawls would break out in the upper deck. Who can forget the game against the Royals when two "die hard" Sox fans jumped the first base coach. You can drink the Sox Kool Aid if you want, Merlyn, but "The Cell" is a nice ballpark in the middle of the ghetto which in turn attracts the scum of the earth for fans. If the Sox organization could charge as much as the Cubs, they would but they know #1) Their "blue collar" fans can't afford it and #2) No sane person would pay that much to go to the ghetto to watch a baseball game.
You can save both of us time and just admit you hate the Cubs for whatever reason.
