  1. The renderings just need TLR's stamp of approval first.
  2. I like Dylan Cease a lot. To be completely honest, I'd feel really bad sending him to the complete dump that is Baltimore, home to possibly the dumbest fanbase in the county.
  3. I don't see how that would work. Wouldn't most of the construction have to wait until the Sox stadium is fully built and they've started playing there?
  4. Maybe he's actually getting self conscious about his legacy. The guy would get booed after his death harder than Jerry Krause did.
  5. Multiple subsurface investigations have already been performed there. Nothing there is that alarming. Some areas will need to be hauled off, and anything removed will need to go to a landfill. But they can cap it all with pavement or clean fill. Part of the land already has a no further remediation letter. In the grand scheme of things, environmental will be a small drop in the bucket for a project of this magnitude.
  6. Have any articles touched on the possibility of a retractable roof? The renderings I saw definitely didn't have one.
  7. Make sure to work out your core muscles regularly. Don't want to hurt your back from carrying all that water for the organization.
  8. Nothing there is alarming from an environmental standpoint. Building on fill material next to a river won't take a stroke of engineering genius like he is describing. It's nothing that unusual. Soldier Field is built on fill material. That entire area used to be part of Lake Michigan. http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/3713.html
  9. Apparently they've already done investigation and some remediation at the location, which makes sense. Looks like they wouldn't need any more investigation, and minimal reporting. I think at this point they'd just need to remediation consisting of digging up the dirty dirt and making some barriers, which would essentially coincide with regular construction. I don't see it as a major hurdle.
  10. I'd imagine the environmental investigation and remediation will add an extra year onto the process, at a minimum.
  11. Nothing there would be too difficult or expensive from an environmental or structural standpoint to overcome. Lincoln Yards sold for 7mil an acre despite being riddled with environmental issues.
  12. I'm sure Tim would be ecstatic about being moved from a premium defensive position to RF
  13. I'm still rooting for the Cubs. However, if this happens then I'm back.
  14. Remember how Rahm made Ricketts' life difficult when he was trying to buy up and redevelop Wrigleyville? I don't think Ricketts will have enough sway to do what you are saying. Their family is not well liked by Chicago or the politicians here.
  15. I would become a Sox fan again if this were to happen. This is huge.
  16. Keith Law hates the Orioles, that's why
  17. O's hangout generally agrees that he is a moron
  18. I figured Jerry West would come upn. I always thought he was more responsible for the early 2000s Lakers than Mitch, but I could be wrong.
  19. You can't cancel that thread. It's like cancelling a holiday tradition. His posts are always quite flashy though. I enjoy them.
  20. If you think this is exciting, just wait for his annual attendance thread!
