Nothing but a bunch of overpaid arrogant adults playing kids games for Millions

The problem with your idea is that the money is there. Either George Steinbrenner is going to get it or some shortstop is going to get it.

[i]I say watch the Chicago Wolves, at least they are going to show home games on tv.[/i]


I agree. Watch the Wolves and be entertained while [b]not[/b] going broke.

I remember attending 15-20 home Blackhawk games a year from 1982-1992. At this time I was a high school student and apprentice just beginning my carreer and I could afford the expense of a game, parking, maybe a coupe of beers. Fast forward to now......I earn much more but cannot justify spending $200.00 to go see a game with my wife. (tickets $50.00+, Beer/Wine $6.00+ ea., parking $15.00, dinner out before game$???).

It's truly been a sad decade to be a Hawks fan. No home T.V. and a pathetic team have turned the Hawks into what they deserve. I believe they are near the bottom of the league in attendance in a city that used to be the home of the greatest hockey fans. (just watch a video of the all star game during the 1st gulf war).

I still enjoy watching all the playoff games on ESPN. There still is great hockey out there, for some reason it just doesn't really get started until everything is on the line in a best of 7 series.
