Cubs fans snubbed at Chicago airport slip away
About 100 Cubs fans waited at O Hare for the return from St Louis after a 5 1 win over the Cardinals. An announced arrival at 7 pm in a United Airlines terminal was altered as the Cubs landed at a freight terminal instead. Fans paid for parking and planned to meet the team, while some supporters blamed prior reports in the Tribune for the confusion. One fan mocked a similar ploy at St Louis airport.
