Yes, They Really Did Close the Upper Deck at Wrigely in the 1970s
Interesting post at Bleed Cubbie Blue. It's really interesting how attending sports games has become so much more popular in the last 20 years. Case in point: the emergence of Wrigely Field as a fan mecca.

It will never happen,
but considering their weekday attendance sans T-Shirt Tuesdays or buck nights, the Royals could consider doing this too.
One big difference between then and now – there is significantly more price breaking going on by the clubs today, resulting in the need for ushers to “protect” the integrity of the higher paying customer’s seats.
Mr Glass, this is a pro sports team, not a retail store - run it like one!
"price breaking"
poor wording on my part. What I mean is tiers of prices are MUCH more prevalent today.

yea
according to that post, big chunks of the lower level were basically general admission
as a kid, i can remember going down to good seats in the late innings when no one was there… impossible now
I do remember watching WGN when I was very young and seeing all kinds of open seats.
I used to work with an old man that told me. Son, every workplace has a dumbass, if you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.
Well the Cubs did use to be pretty terrible
until some point in the 90s when they started to sniff contention again.
when did they stop?

Very true.
But even now, I can’t imagine Wrigley being near that empty again.

I was looking to see when the Cubs started getting bad
on wikipedia, and I ran across this:
Uh.
Is that not the strangest statue ever made of a sports announcer?
Wow, that looks straight out of Lord of the Rings.
