“Chicago Cubs fans are ninety percent scar tissue.”
George F. Will
“Sharks are as tough as those football fans who take their shirts off during games in Chicago in January, only more intelligent.”
Dave Barry
“This has been the remarkable thing about the fans in Chicago, they keep drawing an average of a million-three a year, and, when the season's over and they've won their usual seventy-one games, you feel that those fans deserve a medal.”
Harry Caray
“Not bad for just being created. They've come from all over, from fans in New York, Chicago, California, all over.”
Russ Hill
“We're very excited for our fans to have an opportunity to go to Chicago and watch some great basketball and shop and eat a lot ? maybe a little deep dish pizza.”
Joanne P. McCallie
“God really has cursed the sports fans of Chicago. It defies the law of averages when you think about it: 1908 and 1917. God didn't want it to happen. But if the White Sox ever win again, they'll probably set off a hydrogen bomb.”
Bill Gleason
“I just want to thank the city of Chicago and all the Fire fans for eight wonderful years. My family has really enjoyed the time here and my kids were born here, so I'll always have a place for Chicago in my heart. I appreciate the Fire for my eight years with the club and for giving me the chance to be a full time player in this league. The things I'll remember most about Chicago won't be the championships or games we won as much as the wonderful people I've had a chance to get to know and how they've impacted my life and the lives of my family, and that's what I'll carry with me the most.”
