Anytime they want to stop talking about White Sox attendance issues, go right ahead.

It's been the same tired story every year since the ballpark opened.

I'm a die hard White Sax Tan and I've only been to one game this year. Why haven't I been to more? I dunno...because I just haven't. No real reason. I'm sure this is the case for a lot of fans.

And probably the trend at a majority of parks. Weren't the Braves having trouble putting asses in seats during their great 90s run? People grew tired of success.

Me too!

I've been to 2 games this year and one of those was because I had free tickets with awesome seats.

I didn't go at all last season.

The last few years I would usually attend 3-5 games.

Overall though, MLB attendance is up 4% on 2011

Taking the Metra for either us would not be bad at all. You can even take it from Mundelein. Just take it downtown, hop on the Green Line at Clinton, and take it to the Green Line stop by the cell. You can even transfer to the Red Line at Roosevelt.

I just solved all of your headaches about getting to the ballpark.

You're welcome.

The Mundelein train doesn't run on weekends...and the last trains from Union Station to Libertyville is at 10:35pm or 12:35am. So, not really an good option unless you want to leave in the 7th inning.

That's shitty.

How about drive to Skokie, and park at the Yellow line, and take that to Howard, and take the Red to the Cell.

The Yellow line stops running at 11:00pm, so you'd have to get to Howard at 10:30ish anyway.

Saturday is a 6:00 game, so it might be over by 9-930.

The weekend games are no big deal since you can usually avoid traffic. The weekday games are a whole other animal. Plus, we have a parking pass for this Saturday.

Mac and Spiegs tailgate = $0

Taking a Day off of work to go to the game = $250

Cancelling the tailgate that was scheduled 7 weeks ago, 4 days before the event because you have to become Tom Petty....Priceless.

:P


did they really have the balls to give that out as the reason?

Not, really...
Spiegs has the show the night before and his wife is doing the Greenbuild Legacy Community Project from 9-4 on Saturday. So, it just wasn't going to work. I think Mac has something going on as well...so, that's likely what happened.

Mac said he was working on some project that he can't announce until February.

I'm guessing NBA studio analyst work or something like that.

The return of "Bad Mushrooms" or whatever his band was called as a yute.


My first really bad band was "Defiant Youth".....had no clue as to what we were doing.

Tailgate was a success yesterday....we didn't forget tongs this time!
Brats, burgers, fruit, pasta salad, and plenty of beer and water. Fed a guy down on his luck too, so that was nice.
