Swerski, as a loyal Sox fan, a true "Chicago Guy", and an even truer Southsider....

Let's break down why the Cubs Pack their stadium every game no matter how completely bad they are. ESPN and alot of other people are fooled by the myth of the Cub fan. True cubs fans are fewer and farther between than people really think. 

1.) The neighborhood in which they play in has been renewed. Aside from Boys town being a penis length away, the criminal element and filthy street urchin rundownness that once was a signature of that area is now gone. It is now a destination (though not very expensive generally speaking) for young folks in the city. Going to a Cub game for many folks is equivalent to going to a movie, or a play, or a local bar on a Friday night for a large portion of these "fans"

2.) When Little Joey Corncok from Cowfuk, Iowa finally finishes school at the University of Northern Iowa and realizes that a BA in business will do him no good on his fathers farm, he moves to the city nearest home. Chances are he is going to want to move to a place that more  closely resembles his college environment...Welcome to Wrigleyville. Chockfull of Bars and young women. Being that Joey grew up not having a team to root for, or had no ties to baseball, he will naturally root for the local neighborhood team...not to mention that it is "chic" in our city to root for the Cubs. Southsiders are considered scumbags and Blue collar by nature. Why would Joey Corncok, freshly degreed from college and out suckin coks to find his first white collar dead end job associate himself with people or a team whose constituents do not represent what he wants in life? These fans by the way are the most rediculous of them all. They will irritatingly defend the cubs to death, not knowing a lick about the organization or history of the team. Their main argument is..... The Chicks at your game are ugly. (that is the tipoff that they are not there to watch baseball). And black people will beat you outside of your soutside stadium, and there is no bars in that area, or your fans all have mullets. I say, oh gee yeah, because I go to baseball games to get laid....go back to indiana you hog fuking punk. Real Chicago Cub fans are realists. They will not defend inadequacy, and will not defend their team when it is mistreating them the fan. These fans are becoming more and more rare, as the stadium becomes more and more of a bar.

3.) Cubs are owned by the Tribune Company a national media conglomerate. They broadcast their games all over the America and is some parts of the world on non pay TV. Their product reaches places that other teams cannot.

4.) Wrigley field is the biggest bar in the world. More than half of the people that attend those games are there to drink and ogle chicks and take their shirts off. The other half are season ticket owners, and the other percentage is visitors from out of town. When Wrigleyville was a dump not 15 years ago, the place had dismal attendance numbers.

5.) Everyone loves a loser. Its like that retarded brother born with a stump leg that everyone coddles and defends because he cannot defend himself.

6.) Wrigley Field has historic value, and is fun to go and see if you you live in some place other than Illinois. Because of the Avant gardeness of being a Cub fan in a city or state that has no baseball team, when these people come to our city that is a must stop. In terms of ballpark amenities, ease of getting in and out of the park, and overall ballpark experience, the place may just be the worst place in all of baseball to see a game. The stadium is located in a bustling neighborhood with 0 parking whatsover. To park within 5 blocks of the park will cost you upwards of 50$. Beer is overpriced in the area, and the food is absolutely fukn terrible. Traffic...fuk good luck. You might as well try to catch a rickshaw or ride a bike to get there reasonably or cheaply.

So when you ask yourself why it is Cub fans refuse to punish management and stop attending games? Well its because those people are there to drink and not watch baseball.

1.) True baseball fans will not attend games when management provides for your entertainment a sh1tty product.

2.) True chicago baseball fans South or Northdo not stand for bad management or play. The out of towners and Chicago Newbies are the ones who still frequent these games with reckless abandon.

3.) because the cubs are still a hot ticket, getting rid of your season tickets is a bad business decision. Though tickets are not necessarily hard to get or find, when things do go good up there, the "I told you so" fairweather as$holes come out in droves, making those tickets gold.
