I live very close. And since it seams you that you are familar with Chicago, I live in the Edgewater neighborhood, right off Lake Michigan, 2 blocks from the Red line. And I have in fact witnessed first hand the immense crowds it produces.Let's put things in perspective. The Cubs have been playing in Wrigley Field since 1916, the gay parade since 1970, both have co-existed fine for when the Cubs have been in town, say 50% of the time they have been in town together. Wrigley Field is one of one of, if not the biggest tourist attraction in Chicago. People come from all over the country catch a game at Wrigley Field, and this was a prime date at the beginning of the summer. But I guess Tom Ricketts doesn't mind the revenue he would other wise he would be making that day, but the area's buisnesses I'm sure are pissed on the revenue they'll be losing that day. I'm taking my buisness to Milwaukee that day. |
