That happens when you live in fear that your river will catch fire. good thing we have a regulatory agency that... oh, @#$.

before 2006, a banner year in detroit was 2M. i am a detroit fan, too. it's very unlikely they continue to draw so many people... but it's not impossible for a certain fanatical culture to develop and persist longer than normal, too.

cleveland had some ups and downs lately, so, it may just be delayed... and if so they'll adjust that, or it makes sense for you to up it for any reason you can rationalize, for that matter. but, as of last year, they didn't draw many fans relative to success.

regardless of that potential fanatical cult following culture... a known WS-caliber team should draw crowds this year, and they are not just a talking-heads "contender" anymore. but, if they start of horrendously and have injurie, that tenuous position of leverage can easily revert with so little recent history.
