Paul,

Thanks for all of you info on the Chicago sports teams set ups for crowd etc.

I get the impression that Shure sells the majority of the SM-89's in their hometown! They are not a common shotgun mic choice.

I worked with Neal Funk when he (and I) were new to the business downstate back in the mid 70's. He did high school and U of I radio at the time. He left that station and within a year was calling 76ers games. The Sennheiser 25 sportscaster sets didn't exist back then!
