Under Saul's definition of "downtown", Wrigleyville is not downtown. His definition seems to imply lots of office buildings and tons of people working right nearby, which isn't Wrigleyville. While many people that live in the neighborhood can just "walk across the street" and attend a game, most commute from other areas of the city or the suburbs to attend and have a much longer trip time-wise than people driving to the K.

I'm not saying it's downtown. I'm saying that it is located in a vibrant urban setting. Basically, it's the opposite of Kaufman.
