OPENING DAZE

The email blasts have been coming from the Cubs. Opening Day tickets still available.

From what we gather, there are a lot available.

The green sections show where tickets are available. Some have calculated based upon the Cubs and other ticket sites that there is approximately 12,000 unsold seats for Opening Day.

That would make the projected opening day attendance at around 29,600 based on current capacity of 41,600.

Past Cub openers:

2013 40,083
2012 41,176
2011 41,358
2009 40,077
2008 41,089
2007 41,388
2006 40,869
2005 39,892
2004 40,483
2003 29,138
2002 41,555
2001 38,466


This projects to the worst opening day crowd in a decade.
