"We are going back to the '70s type Cubs attendance."

That's just silly. They won't even go back to '80s type attendance. Have you forgotten that the Cubs never reached the 2 million mark until 1984?

"We have a lot of loosers on this board."

I loosened my belt. Does that count?

You can watch the minor league games on mlb.tv? That sounds cool for a change of pace.

No MiLB.TV. It's only minor league games.

All Iowa, Tennessee and Boise home games are on. And you can watch roads games if the other team put their games on. Almost all Iowa road games are on, and Tennessee road games against Jacksonville are on.

Peoria doesn't have their games on yet, but when they play at Wisconsin (about ten times this year) those games will be on

"Well according to Phil Rogers the "attendance" for yesterdays game was 34K yet only about half the ticket holders showed up.

Do you completely dismiss the possibility that eventually these people who buy tickets and don't show up will stop buying tickets?"

The Cubs not likely see much more than minimal drop in ticket sales, certainly it will never return to like the 70's.

Some people may stop buying season tickets but there are still people waiting to take their place.

When summer gets here, school is out, and the weather is beautiful, the fans will be there.

I believe that most fans think that with the organization management changes, the Cubs will build a good team. Most season ticket holders want to still have their season tickets when that happens.

I live in Fond Du Lac so I would probably get Brewer oriented minor league ball.
