Cubs' neighbors
Typical whining residents in Lakeview: They move in and then start complaining about their neighbors, the Cubs and concerts held in Wrigley Field. The Cubs schedule concerts to compensate for lost revenue due to the night-game limits forced upon them by the city. The Cubs don't schedule night games on Saturdays due to neighborhood resistance. That's also true for Friday nights, and the Cubs can only schedule 30 night games per season. Their rivals schedule about 55 night games.
The Cubs' obstacles to a pennant now include their neighbors, along with the Dodgers and Astros. With the new ownership, the limits on the Cubs' night-game schedule must come to an end. Their future in Lakeview depends on it, and it's time their neighbors recognized this isn't the Cubs of the 1970s anymore. Their goal is a World Series championship, and that cannot be accomplished with their schedule so different from that of their rivals.
