I think Wrigley was a good idea in concept. But when they started making tickets egregiously expensive at “face value” for STH, including some of which don’t want to drive down into the city anyways, many of which are matchups against visiting teams that travel well and are going to be favored against us… it’s a tough combination.
I think if you do all of that except still sell them to STH at normal / reasonable face value prices (I think they did this the first time before NU and Wrigley and every other ticket vendor in the world started getting greedy to maximize revenue rather than balance that with their own fans) then the outcomes would have been same on the field but it wouldn’t have been quite so imbalanced on the crowd ratios.
Great idea once or twice but it’s run its course. Glad that with the new stadium we will be able to keep the games at actual HOME.
