Chicago is not really a great sports ATTENDANCE town, especially for a team that
doesn't do well.  The Sox averaged just under 70% of capacity this past season.  (The
Cubs were at 96%, but I recall all too well the years when 5000 was a good crowd for
a mid-week day game at Wrigley.)

About the only Chicago team with a long history of always packing the house regardless 
of how the team does is the Bears.  

I believe that most of the college sports teams in Chicago draw poorly.
