southsider2k5 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0816-story.html The White Sox, who may not get to say they are No. 1 much lately, have beaten Chicago’s other major pro sports teams in the fan experience they deliver, according to a J.D. Power report released Wednesday. Ironically, it’s possible their lack of big crowds may have helped them. The Bears, meanwhile, finished dead last. With 809 points out of a possible 1,000, the White Sox scored three points more than Major League Soccer’s Fire, which finished first among local franchises last year in the inaugural J.D. Power rankings. The National Hockey League Blackhawks were third with 790 points. That victory for Major League Baseball made Chicago the only one of the 11 markets tracked in the 2017 J.D. Power Fan Experience Study in which an MLS or NHL team did not finish first. National Football League franchises wound up consistently at the bottom everywhere, however. After the Sox, Fire and Hawks, the National Basketball Association's Bulls were fourth at 783, followed by the World Series champion Cubs (767) and Bears (751).

Iwritecode Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 It really is the lack of crowds that probably makes the experience better. With all the other teams it's likely a combination of being too crowded, tickets are over-priced, lack of parking/accessibility or the team is bad with no foreseeable future of getting better anytime soon.

OmarComing25 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Yeah give me the big crowds for the playoffs, but for a regular season game 20-25k is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. It is a bit annoying when only half the vendors are open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
