When the Cubs have had lousy teams (common in the past generation or so), Wrigley Field still has plenty of crowds at or near capacity. And with a good product on the field the last couple seasons, it’s been difficult to get a ticket.
According to the Tribune, U.S. Comiskular Field/Park just set a record tonight, in its fourteenth year of existence, by achieving just its ninth sellout of the season. One wonders what more pubs/shops/restaurants—and fewer safety issues (justified or not)—in Comiskeyville would do for attendance on the South Side.
