Talk:Question for White Sox Fans/@comment-71.156.99.121-2006041090143

all of the above comments are accurate. if i recall correctly, the sox did dump salaries late in the &quot;97 season while still in the playoff and division races. it was shameful. and it was oowner jerry reinsdorf&quot;s choice. many season ticket holders were upset and didnt renew the next season. hence, the drop in attendance. the other comments above, while not germain to your question, are also correct. chicago is a cubs town and always has been. the reasons why are simple: the north side is wealthier, yuppier, whiter and safer. the south side is more ethnic, poorer, and less safe. going to a cubs game at wrigley is alot easier, safer and closer for those who can afford and want to go to baseball games. all that said, there is nothing like winning to boost attendance. the &quot;05 champs sold alot more season tkts this year than last, and no wonder...
