The total attendance gained isn&#39;t worth the assholeness. Plus the nominal gain in money ($1.7 million is what you pay a fourth outfielder, $5 million is slightly more than Braden Looper made) hardly provides enough to really impact a team. I&#39;ll take their money, but they can still go fuck themselves.Langehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07093922853725693349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808246530276446316.post-48351422923436229512009-10-29T09:58:35.181-05:002009-10-29T09:58:35.181-05:00As dbauhs said, I never said that the Cubs&#39; games were the reason that the Brewers had good attendance numbers, but that Cubs fans pump much needed money into the Brewers&#39; system. Brewers fans are great, but as a small market team, we can use all the extra cash we can. And in my opinion, taking a little abuse at the hands of Cubs fans is definitely worth it.<br />And I do think that the Cub/Brewer attendance numbers would be different without Cub fans. I&#39;m not saying they&#39;d be drastically different, but there would be less people at Brewer/Cub games without Cub fans, no doubt.duganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09836030481666551276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808246530276446316.post-10754312682267417582009-10-29T09:36:46.298-05:002009-10-29T09:36:46.298-05:00I don&#39;t think he was suggesting the Cubs fans were the reason for the attendance average, but rather their attendance alone unwittingly helps the Brewers franchise. And as someone who attended a late season non-sellout Brewers-Cubs game and sat in a section heavily saturated with Cub-scum (with dugan, no less), I think he&#39;s right.dbauhshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17128362769534134637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808246530276446316.post-21795245345469727992009-10-29T00:25:59.752-05:002009-10-29T00:25:59.752-05:00whoa whoa whoa....double you tee eff! DOUBLE double you tee eff! Yes, when the Cub fans come to town they spend money...but you make it sound like the Cubs fans are the sole reason for the 37k avg attendance! I hope someone does research for me, I would, but I was laying in bed already when I read this and thus would not like to research myself. The Cubs were in town, what, like 8-10 times this year, with the supposed average of 42k for those games that is a fraction of the home games? The Brewers had a redonk amount of sellouts this year, with or without the Cubs. You don&#39;t think those Cubs games would have been any different attendance wise if the Chicago fans didn&#39;t show up? They would have had as many seats filled with or without the Cub scourge! I would agree with this argument in 2003, but the case was made for the, last couple of years. Absolutely not, we supported ourselves Milwaukee fans, WE pulled that average up over 81 home games, not the 9ish games the Chub fans came to town! It is not easy getting 20k+ fans to weekday games, but damn it, we sold a lot of those weekday games out and we should be PROUD OF THAT (and do it again and again and again..hopefully). One of my best friends is a Cubs fan, and actually bought a 9 pack...I thanked him for his support of the Milwaukee Brewers, but we both know his seats would have been gone regardless, he just happened to be the one enjoying the American baseball experience.....damn it, I want some stadium sauce now!<br />I guess this is the beauty of blogs, the ability to agree or disagree and share your thoughts, what are all your thoughts on this?
