This graph details the annual number of Cubs games attendees from 2007 to 2016. The cubs were known for always having a decent turn out even though they were in the mist of a century old World Series dry spell. Dedicated fans would still pack into Wrigley field season after season.
But even with the die-hard fans consistent return, attendance was starting to take a hit. As seen in the graph, there was a steady decline in attendance from 2008 to 2013. In 2008 the Cubs had finally made a post-season appearance after 100 years. When they did not perform as well you can note the decline in attendance after 2008. Then in 2014 there is an apparent increase in attendance, having to do with the Cubs beginning to perform and put up wins and there for drawing back their viewership.
Attendance spiked in 2016 to well over 3,200,000 and the Cubs went on the win the World Series that year. The info graph tells the story of correlation between success on the field and high attendance in the stands for the Chicago Cubs between the 2007 and 2016 seasons.
