Sad increase to Hawks’ prices

Early July symbolizes numerous national and local festivities, including Independence Day celebrations, Taste of Chicago, and renewing my Chicago Blackhawks season tickets. Much to my disappointment, I was shocked to not only find out that the cost of my nine game-ticket plan increased but increased by just under 15 percent. All from a team that endured a first-round playoff exit and failed to meet the high expectations after winning the Stanley Cup.

In this economy, it’s just another slap to the hardworking, dedicated fans who support this city and our Hawks. I feel insulted and defeated. Somewhere, someplace, Jeremy Roenick just shed a tear and Ole’ Man Wurtz is smiling.
