Dan is absolutely correct! Because of the hurricane, Bud Selig and MLB selected Milwaukee as a "neutral site" for the game to be played, as the Brewers were playing on the road that week.
Because the game venue was changed at the last minute, only computerized tickets were issued to this game. Chicago is pretty close to Milwaukee so quite a few die-hard Cubs fans made the hour trek north to catch the game.
Carlos Zambrano made it worth their while, pitching the most unusual of no-hitters; the first and only no-hitter ever pitched in a neutral stadium...
