True, because you can get Chicago tickets cheap and easy.

Knicks and Rangers tickets are the highest priced and most in demand in their respective sports.

Bulls and Blackhawks play in a dumpy arena in the West Side ghetto, and the "Midwest Nice" fans are infamously fair weather (outside of Big 10 football, Cubs and Bears).

Blackhawks have some of the NHL's worst attendance over the past few years. Bulls had awful attendance until they became decent two years ago.

Looking at past 5 years? No it doesnt.

FYI I reported to the moderators that I suspect you have multiple accounts, and they are going to look into it. I suggest you come up with a new screename pronto.

Yes, Nets are in NJ and so are the Giants and Jets. Islanders in LI. They are all in NYC metro though and add to NYC sport experience. Whats your point?

Moment ago you were lamenting that you wish to be banned yourself and now report to moderators in effort to others banned


Why, no other way deal with the fact that the Bulls, Sox and Cubs combined dont have as many championships as the Yankees or that Chicago is simply no comparison to New York which has two baseball teams, two football teams, two hockey teams and two basketball teams not to mention other sports? Chicago doesnt even compare. Let it go.

I don't recall chikid ever saying Chicago's teams are the best in sports.

Are you hearing voices again in your head? Please, direct me to when I said Chicago is a better city for sports. Please I would love to see it.
