Did I say something the
other day about popcorn at the ballpark once costing a quarter? Silly me.
The Cubs will soon be opening their various Wrigley Field clubs for
well-heeled fans, and quarters stacked to the top of Sears Tower (I don’t care
what they call it now) probably wouldn’t be enough to get you in.
According to a story in
the Tribune, full access to one of the clubs will clock in at a maximum of
$56,295. Per-game access to the other
clubs will range from $235 to $495.
Somewhere, the founders of Studio 54 bow down in homage.
Not every team can do
what the Cubs are because they don’t have the same demographics. If the White Sox did (and Jerry Reinsdorf has
tried everything short of voodoo to change the nature of the Sox fan base), we’d
be talking about The Bards Room II or the Old Roman’s Room instead of the
“American Airlines 1914 Club” and the “Catalina Club.” Come the revolution, though, I say we storm
the ivy-covered home of these plutocrats.
Fans of the world, you have nothing to lose but your chains!
