Here is Comiskey. Note that it is surrounded by parking lots.



Here is Wrigley. Note that there are dozens of bars where a giant parking lot would logically be.


First of all, I am not the one who said it. But I do agree with the notion that the higher the population the better attendance a team will achieve.

As to this example of yours, could it be not so much location as it is the city is predominantly Cubs fans? I mean, they came to be 18 years before the Sox. Just thinking out loud....

As to this whole bar attachment you have, that is why we simply will not agree on this. You want party at bars before and after the games. Where as I prefer to party in the lot tailgate style.
