I heard a stat the other day that there are 70,000 millionaires in Seattle (I may have heard that from the Sonics announcer). Since Chicago is so much bigger, I would assume that the number is probably closer to 150,000 here.

I'm not saying the Bulls shouldn't be charging high prices, but I'm just amazed that they can get it.

Golf course prices are similarly inflated here. A $50 course in Michigan is easily $100 in Chicago... and you have to drive pretty far to get to them. And the courses are packed, so the rates are justified.
