CHICAGO -- Fans hoping to see the Cubs play in the World Series for the first time since 1945 are finding a seat could cost them more than what their grandparents paid for their houses.The euphoria from Saturday nights victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers gave way Monday to the realization that history doesnt come cheap.Wrigley Field box seats on ticket-selling sites such as StubHub were $50,000 and up, with one seller asking $100,000 for a seat and another asking for just under $1 million. But there are lots of box seat tickets in the $5,000 to $10,000 range. Tickets to just get into the park and stand behind those with actual seats were going for more than $2,200 each. List prices for World Series tickets at Wrigley range from $85 to $565, according to Major League Baseball figures.World Series tickets are costing a lot more in Cleveland, too -- well above the $83 to $750 list price range that MLB provided for Progressive Field -- but are not as expensive as those in Chicago. And there are indications that Cubs fans, getting a look at what they would pay at Wrigley versus Progressive, are buying two tickets: one for a plane and one for a game.Ticket brokers were being flooded with calls from fans looking for tickets and, as of Monday, they were willing to pay as much as $12,000, said Dan Makras of Classic Tickets in Chicago. But he said prices might climb because Cubs fans are proving to be reluctant to sell no matter how much money theyre offered.People have waited so long for this, he said.How long? Well, the last time the Cubs were in the World Series, a ticket in the upper grandstand was $6.That pent-up desire might explain why more than 2.6 million people -- about the population of Chicago -- signed up for a drawing for a chance to buy the few thousand tickets the Cubs are now selling themselves.Fans with more creativity than luck or money are making some unusual pitches to pry tickets from the hands of their owners.In Southern California, Annie Coffman posted on Craigslist an offer to exchange no fewer than two tickets for a week at her ski cabin near Big Bear Lake. Rental for a week is about $9,000, said Coffman, who grew up near Chicago. Not only that, but her sister owns a ski cabin near Lake Tahoe and would be willing to sweeten the offer.If someone wants to make it a whole tour of California, we could do that, Coffman said.Jesse Altig, a firefighter in Portland, Oregon, who grew up watching Cubs games on television with his dad in the 1980s, also took to Craigslist. He placed an ad offering to take whoever gives him a ticket on a tour that includes Mt. Hood, the coast of the Pacific Ocean and the fire station where he works.I am a regular guy with a family and mortgage and these prices for tickets are kind of astronomical, Altig said. Maybe theres somebody looking for an experience versus a monetary gain.Some Chicago fans apparently are going with Plan B and heading to Cleveland.Cameron Popp of StubHub said a quarter of the tickets being sold on the site for Game 1 in Cleveland on Tuesday are being paid for with credit cards associated with Illinois ZIP codes. In comparison, only about 2 percent of the sales to Game 3 at Wrigley are coming from Ohio.No wonder. Papp said the average ticket price for Game 1 is about $1,000.Such a bargain does not tempt Tom Wilbeck of Chicago.Tickets to Wrigley are three times as much and I asked myself if the experience is three times as cool, said Wilbeck, who is willing to go as high as $20,000 for two Chicago at-home tickets. And the answer is yes. So many people died wishing the Cubs would win the World Series at Wrigley and you cant let this pass you by.---Associated Press writer Mark Gillispie contributed to this report from Cleveland.

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will undergo more tests this week on his back before the team decides whether to keep him on the active roster or place him on injured reserve, according to coach Jason Garrett.On Sunday, a source told ESPN.com the Cowboys would keep Romo on the active roster.Romo suffered a compression fracture in his back on Aug. 25 against the Seattle Seahawks and is expected to need 6 to 10 weeks to recover. Sunday marked the first day the Cowboys could have placed Romo on injured reserve and had him return at some point during the regular season.We can take the next couple of days, and the reason why we want to take the next couple of days is we want to make sure its enough time out from the original injury, Garrett said. And thats where were going to get the most information.The Cowboys have until Friday to place Romo on injured reserve and have him be eligible to return to game action Nov. 6 against the Cleveland Browns. If they wait a week, then the timetable to return to game action would be pushed back to Nov. 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.The Cowboys chose to keep Romo on the active roster on Sunday when they added Mark Sanchez to the roster. Jameill Showers was let go to make room for Sanchez.With rookie Dak Prescott set to start in Romos absence, the Cowboys wanted to add a veteran presence. Sanchez has a 37-35 career record with 86 touchdown passes and 84 interceptions. He lost out on the Deenver Broncos starting quarterback competition to Trevor Siemian and was cut on Saturday.ddddddddddddThe Cowboys and Broncos had some trade discussions before the move, but the Cowboys did not want to give up any trade compensation.Marks been a good player in this league, Garrett said. Hes been a starting quarterback. Hes been to the playoffs as a starting quarterback. Hes started a lot of games. He was a very successful college quarterback. We played against him in our division, so weve seen him up close. Hes an experienced guy who has a lot of ability. He can move around. He can throw the football. Hes had success in the league.We thought it was a good opportunity to add to the depth of our quarterback position. When he was available, certainly it was a good opportunity for us to bring him here.Sanchez will have to be active Sunday against the Giants.I think the biggest thing for him right now is to learn the offense, and he has to learn it quickly, Garrett said. Hes worked very hard in the last 24-36 hours trying to get comfortable with what were doing. So I think thats where his focus needs to be.Hell pick it up. Hes seen a lot of different offenses in his life, so a lot of the concepts will be familiar to him. The biggest thing will be learning the language. Hes got to learn quickly, and thats where his focus is. Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
