I didn't look it up. I just figured it was somewhere in the 20-30 thousand range like most indoor arenas, and went with the high end for dramatic effect.

I'm from Chicago, and trust me when I say 90-95% of Hawks fans are band wagoners who didn't know an NHL player until they drafted Patrick Kane. Just because they won the cup doesn't mean the fans know anything about Hockey other than goals are good, and penalties suck.

but the truth is true fans do still support the team during the rough times, and through shitty ownership. There is plenty of evidence out there. It looks even worse when you have the 3rd largest market in the country, and still cant fill a 30,000 seat arena. Plus if you go to Chicago now you would think the Hawks…

I should have admitted earlier that I'm biased as well being a Midwesterner. I definitely get where your coming from though. One of my favorite pizza joints in Chicago serves New York style. Also I have not experienced mind blowing New York style, whereas the first time I had Chicago style it was different and…

For sure it's opinion, and I like both fairly equally. They each have a time and a place. I just meant to say that all the folks on here who are saying you can't count the places doing shitty New York style pizza as New York style are wrong, because it is still New York style pizza in characteristics (thin crust,…

Here is the difference. In Chicago you get a few places that are doing chicago style pizza that everyone knows and goes to (Lou Malnati's, Gino's, and Giordano's), so it's a pretty uniform opinion on what Chicago style pizza is (thick, lots of cheese and meat, sauce on top of cheese instead of underneath, comparable…

I agree Pasties are delicious and come from practical origins. When the men would go off to work their wives would cook them pasties so the meat and potatoes would stay warmer for longer and the men could have a warm delicious meal on their lunch break. Michigan's food should probably be the Coney dog though, it's…

No one outside of NYC gives a shit about NYC, you know that right?

Truth, the Pasty is the food of Northern Michigan (my native land), while the Coney Dog is the food of Southern Michigan (where everyone in Michigan actually lives). It's hard to claim a food named after a place in New York as Michigan's own though.

Your crazy if you think New York style pizza should be #1. You can get New York style pizza anywhere in America. It's just most places aren't arrogant enough to claim thin crust pizza as their own. Not saying Chicago style should #1 either, but at least it's unique, and filling.

I didn't meant to say there is no offensive advantage with the DH, because there most definitely is. I'm just saying that it is not as huge as you originally make it seem, because your method of comparing often the best hitter on the team (the DH) to often the 7th-9th best hitter on the team (the player that get…

Your forgetting that just because a guy DH's in the AL doesn't mean he wouldn't play if all teams had no DH. I guarantee that Ortiz would be playing 1st base, or somewhere if there was no DH, his bat is that good that someone would probably sacrifice a little defense to have it. This also works vice versa, meaning…

Does Franzen take out his mouth guard, or wipe his nose?

Entertainment has value. Ever hear of movies, or music, or TV. All of which are extremely profitable and do the exact same thing as Drew does.

I also think they are really weird. The St. Louis part of the logo (in the logo's that include the city name) is a different font than the all cap's they are sporting now. Also there is no college games or high school games listed for the Edward Jones Dome in the future, so I'm not sure why they are so strange and…

Only place I've seen people offering free hugs is at fests and concerts. I always thought it was an Ecstacy thing. Seeing how this was San Fran, can't really rule it out.

competition is good for the consumer. Business 101

Pure gold +1

I'd give them Joe Haden for sure too. One of the best CB's in the NFL.

It actually was pretty crazy that it snowed as much as it did that night. Denver annually does not get as much snow as people would think. Most of it gets dumped out in the mountains thanks to pressure rises. It's the same reason Denver is rarely cloudy.
