Not in or from Chicago, but have family there. Isn't it generally considered that most of the Chicago wealth is north of downtown? Monied season ticket holders and corporate skyboxers are going to schlep down to to NW Indiana on game day? I realize its all part of same MSA and commuting long distances is already part of the mega metropolis ethos...but this feels...out there. Especially with a franchise so storied and tied to the City of Chicago.
