Do you call yourself blue cuz of the lack of O2 to the brain? I've said it once and I will say it again. The Sox fans want a winning team on the field. So, they choose to not come to the ballpark when the team sucks in hopes that mgt. will produce a better team.
Cubs fans will show up no matter what. Now, if you owned the Cubs and fans keep showing up day after day, year after year, why would you go out and spend the time and money to produce a better team?
The Tribune is making money on the ambience of a historic ballpark. What happens to the fans when they have to do away with Wrigley? What goes up must come down.

You just proved my point. Sox "fans" are front runners. A TRUE fan supports his/her team no matter what their record is. The Sox can't filll their park, and the Cubs arec expanding the seating.
I remember going to Old Comiskey Park when the Yankees (DiMaggio) and the BoSox (Williams) were in town, and they wouldn't even open the upper decks, because the payers outnumbered the fans in the stands. The Sox in those days were pathetic because the Comiskeys were the cheapest owners in baseball, and wouldn't sign high-priced players. For years, the only real MLB players they had were Luke Appling and Ted Lyons.
So, keep your cave clean, because as soon as the South Siders aren't in a pennant race, you'll have somewhere to hide again.
