Let's take a look at 2005: The White Sox were 17th in attendance *the year they won the fucking World Series.* And the Cubs? 6th. In a year they won 79 games, finished 4th in their division, and Neifi Perez was their starting shortstop the Cubs were 11 slots higher in attendance than the White Sox in their World Series winning season. So maybe there's a legitimate reason they're treated like an afterthought in Chicago?
Understand that I still am down on the White Sox in general and certainly on Harrelson is particular. But the locations of Comiskey (or Payday Loan Scam Park or whatever the fuck) and Wrigley have a TON to do with this discrepancy. Each is an extreme example of how the neighborhood can facilitate or impede attendance.
Plus, Wrigley is a cathedral and Guarantee Rape Field is a toilet.</blockquote>
Either that or White Sox fans just suck. How are you bottom half in attendance the year you win the World Series? I dont care where your stadium is. That is pathetic.
