You going to games, John?
Let Dad take oldest son last night. It's the 9 year old and me tonight.
And people wondering how tickets are so expensive? I recognize almost every person in our sections. I didn't look at Stubhub, but there has to be nearly no secondary market for anything in the XX's, 100's or lower 200's.
I hope the locals and regulars still have secret fishing hole parking spots around. They're like unicorns since everyone is capitalizing on this shit. Ticket prices, hidden fee's, scalpers, parking to concessions Sporting Events have evolved into thief's meant to pick-pocket you from the house to your seat. Milk every dime, not sure how working families can do it.
It's really cool your family/kids/son gets to experience the the WS at their age. I hope they absorb it, can't imagine the cost when they become adults. I said It will be cool for your son if the CUBS win but if they just so happen to lose it should build a non-bratty appreciation character that you'd know all about having been a fan all these years.
Not all of us jumped on the Cowboys and Yankees bandwagons. Expected to buy a ring every year and shove it in your face like little girls.
I wonder how many bandwagon Cub fans will be left if they don't. MLB and the media did a fantastic job carrying the CUBS over into this season as I'm sure they will into the next. They created a monster! With this huge influx into their fan base CUBS apparel is selling and win or lose the team is built to be around and compete for awhile. It will be nice that not everyone is a Stankee or RedSox fan. Now they're jumping ship to Chicago!
I still say they'll win! 2016 World Champ CUBS!...........Will still suck!
