The May 30th Chicago Tribune also ran a graphic showing the percentage of Chicago fans for each sport. It is not really surprising, but of interest. The source was Scarborough Research. A fan is described as someone who has watched on TV, listened on the radio or attended a game. The current period is March 2009 to February 2010.
Previous was research period from September 2007 to August 2008.
The first number is percentage who are fans for the current period. The second is percentage change from 2007-2008.
BEARS: 60% Down 5.2%
CUBS: 55% Down 2.5%
WHITE SOX: 42% Down 5.2%
BULLS: 36 Up .5%
BLACKHAWKS: 27 Up 70.6%
FIRE (Soccer): 9% Up 13.8%
WOLVES (Hockey): 7% Up 15%
SKY (WNBA): 3% Down 22.5%

It always bugs me that the Sox are essentially the forgotten baseball team here in Chicago. I am a Cub fan as long as they aren't playing the Sox.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
