Why wouldn’t they move to a city that would provide them with a new stadium and partial ownership of those things within an accompanying entertainment area, (restaurants, bars, legal gambling parlors, hotel(s) and whatever. That’s how the money is made not in some backwater neighborhood like Bridgeport that has nothing else going for it except 81 baseball games a year.

So if Nashville does not get an expansion team, as the article indicated could happen , then it would work out great for a new white Sox ownership group (or Reinsdorf JR.) to move there.

With all the perceived negative stuff, billion dollar subsidy ask, lousy team, lousy manager, lousy everything persona, and it’s only going to get worse, attendance will be low, between 850,000 and 900,000. The media having their knives out for Jerry certainly won’t help either.

Since forever we’ve been told what a groovy place Wrigleyville is and that Bridgeport is a backwater.

Well if the deal he now has is “way to good” then the IFSA won’t be extending it as it is and J.R. Isn’t going to accept anything less than what he already has. Out of options.

Well if Jerry is the Beast he’s made out to be on this site then yes. Watch your back Tony! And if Jerry’s gone, well, it’s “father like son”. Young(er) Reinsdorf will shiv you also. “Nothing personal Tony, it’s only business”.

Jurko absolutely hates the Sox and has even offered to drive one of the moving trucks down to Nashville. He’s a freaking gear head and an embarrassment to Chicago.

There is really nothing left to discuss. Jerry delivered his ultimatum in the Crains article. No new stadium at the 78 and the Sox will definitely be moving one way or the other to another state when the current deal with the state expires in 2028. The current site (35th & Shields) is a dead duck for all the reasons people have stated in this thread over the last two days. And as somebody stated here today. Chicago only has one NFL team. We have two MLB teams which means one is expendable. The Bears will be going hat in hand to Springfield soon and they are the odds on favorite to beat the Sox over the hotel tax thing. The media and Chicago sports fans won’t beat up the Beloved Bears over state financing like they are with the Sox. Sorry, but the White Sox franchise is terminally ill and waits to be reborn in a different state far far away. These few remaining seasons at the rate will be very solemn and sad but on the other hand there will also be much happiness in the move especially among several radio sport talk personalities who for quite a while now have been begging the Sox to leave like the guy on AM1000 (the former packer) who is absolutely elated.

All Jerry has to do is look at this thread and he’d be off to Nashville in a heartbeat.

We Hate Everything Field. Also known as “The Hate”.

I don’t blame anyone. This is more like a bubonic plague, psychologically speaking.

I think the hatred is genetic. I find Sox fans who totally hate the Sox (which is weird) have a generational link to Bridgeport, Canaryville, Back of Yards, or Front of Yards going back to when the stock yards were there. The toxic noxious devilish smells and fumes the permeated the area for decades has altered the genetic makeup of those who lived through it and their descendants to the point were it manifests this hate-hate relationship with the area. Even if your only 1/4 or 1/8 descendant to ancestral stock yardians you could be at risk. And if any of you ancestors ever drank from bubbly creek you probably a ringleader.

I guess we’re all angry-morbid sox fans that hate everyone and everything associated with the Sox which means we are all nuts. The new team mascot could be “Nut Case”. The between inning race thing they do with caricatures of the broadcasters could be changed to “Three Nut Cases”.

How about a “Tomb Lounge” where Jerry is entombed behind the bar featuring “hate burgers with mourning fries”.

If by some miracle they get the new ballpark I have the new name for the park. “South Side Hate Park” also known as “The Hate”.

And that competition means they’re at war. Take anything you read or hear from reporters/writers/talk show hosts with a grain of salt. And keep in mind that the Bears have a lot more of these people on their “payroll” than the Sox do. If they want a story written they’ll find someone to write, or say, it and reward them for doing it.

They want the money from the hotel tax to help pay for the stadium. If they’re saying otherwise they are lying….through their teeth.

And Pat Quinn should come out as opposed to any Bears public funding of any kind now or in the future.

Yep. The majority always fears the minority.

The walls have ears and organizations have rats. Paid rats.

It will come from (originate) from taxes which come from taxpayers. Are you saying whoever, Bears or Sox, asks for less is the good guy and whoever asks for more is the bad guy?

So, when the Bears go begging Springfield with their new stadiums public financing ask, will the media outrage be as great as it is with Reinsdorf or will the media sugar coat it.
