Chicagoans are all over the country. It's not a surprise that we put a lot of people in seats in other parks.

I don't know for sure Butch...Do you think this team would draw 3mm+ if the park were in Schaumburg or Arlington Heights? Would we still see people come without the neighborhood/bars?

The first few years would sell every ticket and then some. The die hards would always come for sure. But how long would that hold? I just don't know.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I think it depends on the new facilities and its surroundings, but as long as ownership fields a competitive team, I think we would draw pretty good crowds. The ratio of Cubs fans to others in this town is still staggering. At the same time, would the same number of tourists and other curious visitors still make a pilgrimage to a new ballpark in the same fashion as they currently do with Wrigley? Doubtful.
