Tickets for both Cubs and White Sox games have been below (sometimes way below) face value on Stubhub a few days before the game - all year long, so far, and I think that will continue unless a big name opponent comes into town (Cardinals, Yankees, etc.) It is what it is.

This is so true - I went a couple of weeks ago for a Nationals game. It seemed that many of the "fans" arrived about the bottom of the third, left after the seventh inning stretch and bobbed up and down in true ADD style during the time they were there. I appreciate that people "need" to go get a beer, but what happened to waiting until the play had stopped??
And that is it's true charm.^

In some ballparks, the ushers won't let you into the box seat area until the end of a half inning. However, the design of Wrigley Field doesn't allow for this and would result in fans standing in front of seated fans and/or blocking aisles.

A courteous fan does not stand up while a pitch is being delivered or something is happening on the field, and crouches down upon return to the seat during the inning, if play is happening. I was taught this when I was a kid.
100% correct. Even today, an absolutely beautiful day for baseball, Cardinals are in town, and many Stubhub tickets are near face value.

I was at the Padres a few weeks back and don't think they did, but then the design of PetCo is such that one person standing only blocks the view of a few people directly behind them. That said, the locals seemed a lot more aware and generally only moved between plays.
