"I think most of the fans there are just there to enjoy the experience, and, uh, drink beer. I mean, is that not true? But if you go to Wrigley, it's kind of an experience. I think a lot of our fans are tourists, and they're in town on summer vacation and they just want to check out Wrigley." OUTSTANDING. Even one of their best players realize the fan base that shows up to Wrigley Field is, for the most part, a joke.

He has been there for every trash episode of the past 4 years

I wonder if the Cubs fans or media will get on him at all for that

August 27, 200817 yr Obama lost the guy's vote? That tells you wind kind of a deep political mind was posting that. His vote for president is solely based on the fact that Obama really doesn't like the Cubs. Way to take a stand for the issues. Edited August 27, 200817 yr by bschmaranz

Most of their allegiance to their team is due to the proximity of bars to their stadium.
