i lived in Chicago for years and never went to a Bears game. This is because of the ludicrous prices being charged (like you mentioned.) I get it, it is supply and demand and I am all for that, but the blackout you mention is artificial supply/demand and again, it is totally up to them if they want to do that. I would imagine that with the internet resources we have available today that this doesn't impact nearly as many people as it used to but I know lots of people that have loads of apps and technology but no idea how to use it. So there's that. :)
