In this photo taken Monday, Aug. 30, 2010, baseball fans are seen in one of the many rooftop venues outside Wrigley Field in Chicago and in the bleacher seats, foreground, to watch a baseball game between the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates. Like 'America's team' itself about this time every year, the fate of the famed rooftops beyond the Waveland and Sheffield walls is slumping. With the economy bad and the Cubs once again woeful, the club and bar owners offering a unique over-the-wall viewing experience are struggling financially, despite discounted tickets. About the only thing sustaining them is that the Cubs charge the most for ballpark tickets of any team in the Majors. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)AP - The crowded rooftop bleachers overlooking Wrigley Field stand as proof that no matter how bad the Chicago Cubs played, the ballpark was simply not big enough to hold everyone who wanted to see them play.
