Sox were ranked 4th for fan IQ. Cubs were ranked 8th. I'm glad a national publication recognized Sox fans. Ranking us 4th is a huge compliment. Cubs fans are equal to Sox fans as well.

I don't know why the Sox were ranked 15th for tradition while the Cubs were 3rd. We both have horrible traditions but we've won more recently.

Cubs fans might be pissed they were ranked 15th. But Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park were ranked 20 and 21.

They're talking about a lot of factors. Because Wrigley is so old it will fall short in some of those categories.

Sox were ranked #1 for traffic and the Cubs 27th. That can't be argued. That pulled the Sox up and the Cubs down. Plus, affordability pulled the Cubs down and that's just a fact as well.

If you look at what they were computing you really can't argue with their results.

Hell, Indians, Brewers and Pirates were ranked 1,2,3 for their ball parks.

Can't argue with the food at the Cell either.

i am going to go out of my way to go to a game in pittsburgh. that park looks exceptional, and the price is right, too. that view of the city over the outfield fence is phenomenal.

pittsburgh is a great city, it is too bad they have let that franchise crash and burn the way it has.

Why?
did Paulie hit one out??

The rankings seem pretty accurate from my experience.
The one's I would disagree with would be Yankee stadium hospitality, where an usher allowed us to slide into seats right behind 3rd after the 6th, and the Coors field food where I had the single worst hot dog ever.
The thing was an ancient salt lick, but the right field red micro-brew chaser was exceptional.

Oh great, another publication lists the Cardinals as having the most intelligent fans...I think I'm gonna hurl...

they didn't mean winning tradition; i think as long as wrigley's still there, they're going to have a high ranking in "tradition".
