Is anyone surprised at that? More commercial airing time? I'm not. It's about the money, not the game. Maybe if it weren't the Cubs looking for an historic WS win, it wouldn't draw quite that much. And on another money-making note ... people have been lined up for HOURS waiting for bars to open on Clark St., waiting to pay $250-$1000 (or more) to get a spot 'close to the action' to watch the game. There is a no-parking ban within a 4-block radius of Wrigley, even if you LIVE there and have a permit to park there. Glad I live nowhere near there and glad I'm leaving town.
