How are the Sox leading the Cubs in this poll?

Dont the Cubs have most of the city by the balls even if its N vs S?

I'm a die hard NY sports fan (Yankees/Jets/Knicks), but have a ton of respect for Chicago sports fans, and hope they won't all hate me for being a NY sports fan when I move there

Being in South Florida for almost my whole life makes me appreciate a REAL sports city. Florida on the whole is just awful and embarrassing as far as sports fans go.

Im just a diehard Ranger fan, but come from a family of Yankees, Giants, Knicks, Rangers, who will also be making the move.

I think Chicago is more of a sports town than NY. Same for Boston and Philly. Very much respect it.

The Sox have to find unique ways to get them in because unlike the Cubs, the stadium is not surrounded by miles of social/nightlife/shopping/restaurants - no their stadium is surrounded by miles of parking lots. There s nowhere to go after a Sox game, you go for the baseball.
I'm not going to completely disagree but to blanket all Cubs fans as just going to Wrigley Field because it is a beer garden as well as using such language to describe fans that do attend games is playing on stereotypes. Are there a good amount of people that go to Wrigley Field for those reasons? Absolutely. And a pretty good amount of White Sox fans I have seen at games who go to get wasted tailgating. I was at a White Sox game about a month and a half ago and my girlfriend had some tickets for a pre-game food and drink in the bullpen bar area. While I'm not a White Sox fan by any means, I love baseball so when the game started I watched. The 8 frat boy fans (who according to stereotypes of frat boys would be White Sox fans) were playing beer pong for about the first hour of the game).

I go to Wrigley Field because I love the Cubs. I go to Wrigley Field because it reminds me of the times I would go as a kid with my grandmother and ride the bus down Addison. I go to get a hot dog and a scorecard. I go because when the Cubs are winning again, I will know that I was there the whole time.

Yea, you're right, apologies to any Cub fans I might have insulted.

Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, Cubs, Sox.
Do not go to games anymore, too expensive.
The only team I will watch when they are mediocre are the Bears because it's only 16 games.
