I'm from the Chicago area, need I say more?
Since Chicago baseball will almost alway disappoint (at least I am a White Sox fan, hopeless for them Cubs fans) and since old man Wirtz died a few years ago, being a Blackhawks fan has become so much easier. Like being on TV, yup Bill Wirtz was old school, really old school. He was a leftover from the generation of team owners that thought being on TV hurt attendance. It was the opposite in the case of the Hawks, the stadium was empty and the team sucked. When his son, Rocky took over after his dad passed, he had a TV deal in what seemed like minutes. Now the Hawks rock and the stadium sells out now. It was not that long ago when my brother and I had a whole section to ourselves at a game once (and the tickets were comps), so they had sold not one seat in that whole section..........
So that makes me a bigger hockey fan then baseball..............
