I know I'll get copious amounts of crap for this, but I'll do it anyway.

The Cats are the best sports entertainment value in Chicago. Come hop on the bandwagon (if you want to call it that). The Purple faithful are in disgust that Ryan Field was half full on Saturday... a homecoming weekend no less. Embarrassing, but the upside is there are AWESOME seats available to see some football.

Bears fans, you got a hapless team that will frustrate the heck out of you. The Cats are 2 wins from bowl eligibility. Cats tickets and parking are cheaper. Big 10 college girls abound. Most importantly, it's all offense and no defense... which I argue is MUCH more fun to watch than the opposite.

Laugh if you want, but if you want to see a tough conference right in your own back yard, there is no better Chicago sports entertainment value.
