Interesting article on the Cubbies

[brinkeguthrie]

Someone made the point earler that the Cubs don't need to improve the product as the city will go to the games regardless, win or lose.

That's exactly the point this article makes.

The Cubs' lemming-like faithful continue to flock to the ballyard in robust numbers, regardless of the product on the field. As a result, the stewards at the Tribune Company generally take an "oh, whatever" approach to improving the team. You'll hear rumblings from time to time, but the Cubs have long been more "charming destination" than "sports franchise," and as long as the tickets sell as they do that's probably not going to change.
