I have been fortunate enough to visit more than a handful of MLB ballparks...I just can't come up with a single "unique" thing about the Rate. It might not be THE worst ballpark and yes the 100 level provides a great view of the game...but it is not unique! It is as standard as a ballpark can be...even the 100 level!

Ballparks I have been to: Comiskey Rate Wrigley New Tiger County Miller/American Family Metrodome New Twins ballpark Old & New Busch Coors Field Dodger Anaheim (old and new configurations) Petco St Pete Petco and Coors Field in the modern era have provided experiences for my family that are off the charts great! Those ballparks are cool! Just a blast and wonderful customer service! Great fans...respectful and fun! But nothing tugs at my heartstrings like thoughts/dreams of Comiskey (for a lot of reasons)! Seriously...Comiskey still makes appearances in my dreams!

Political cover by gutless politicians...using the "out" of knowing this is going to happen so they stand against it...many of the same people who are "against" this transaction (swapping of railyards) will be at the ribbon-cutting ceremonies celebrating the jobs/money that these projects brought the city when they open!

LOVE your avatar! One of the best on this forum!

THIS!!!

Again...to each his own...but to me Scriffen's "passion" seemed incredibly forced...and intentionally theatric! Benetti's excitement seemed genuine to me...showed it when it was real! Agree though...he ain't coming back which makes me look forward to Sox TV again!

If this vision/version of legislation/discussion seals the deal...I wonder how much or what would be different from what was being discussed the past couple of years??

Wow...interesting! But also exhausting...get it done one way or the other! (personally much prefer it be in IL)

I don't have a subscription...does Chicago mean the city? Or is he lumping AH with Chicago?

I think you are right...he stays here. But as for speculation...it feels like it is becoming a Joe Borchard situation although Colson has contributed more that Joe B did so far. And when we needed to give Joe B a change of scenery we ended up with Matt Thornton I think...which was alright. I would hope Colson would get more of a return than Matt Thornton though.

This is true! But it was also celebrated! People loved it! They were laughing with him...

To each his own...but I love Benetti! Miss him! In fact I have watched a lot of Tigers games the past two seasons simply because he calls their games. In my view...no one better. Different styles are good...the Padres booth is great...Benetti is great! The White Sox booth...ugh...

Don't tease me!! 😁

Yeah...agree with this...like it or not...Ishbia is leaving 35th & Shields! He is not going to create an entertainment center in that neighborhood. Alderman Lee ought to be out there promoting a vision of what she sees/hopes for this neighborhood. All she is doing now is yelling "no" which is not leadership (and might not work anyway)!

Agreed...but it involves creating a situation where Antonacci is at 2B. And that will have ripple effects which could really change the dynamics of this team! Which is good...
