77 Hitmen

Oh yeah, I saw it. I was just pointing out that this is somewhat of a milestone anniversary - 35 years. We'll see if it makes it to 40 years.

35th anniversary of the opening of New Comiskey Park.

Sox on 35th has an article posted now on this latest news. It includes images of each of the presentation slides that were posted on "X" by CHGO Sports. Sox On 35thNew Details Emerge About Justin Ishbia's 14th Street Rail...New details emerged on Friday about White Sox minority owner Justin Ishbia's acquisition of Amtrak's 14th Street Yard.

Incredible. With all the money Steve Cohen has thrown at their payroll, you'd think heads would roll over their continued floundering.

It'll be very interesting to get more details on where the proposed ballpark would actually sit on either the 78 or the Amtrak land. The renderings look great, but they're a bit confusing to me about the orientation of everything. That pedestrian bridge in the 2nd rendering looks it's actually a part of the St. Charles Air Line bridge. If I'm not mistaken, there are two bridge structures there. So, perhaps the plan would be to remodel the northern structure into a ped bridge. Any pedestrian bridge connecting the Amtrak site to the 78 would have to be a functioning drawbridge to allow boat traffic to pass through along the river.

Yeah, I'm puzzled as to who on this site is miffed about this sale.

....of course, different guy. Bad news, though, he owns a ........GASP...... private equity firm! I guess the Padres are just as doomed as the White Sox.

Wow, the new owner must have made a fortune on royalties from "Feliz Navidad".

I don't spy surface lots. Tell Ishbia to stop this pursuit!

The bottom rendering looks a bit like old photos of the outside of Comiskey Park.

Is there a way to view this without having an X account? I can barely make out the images in the slides. If I zoom in on my browser, the images get blurry. Is there a baseball stadium in the renderings? Everyone else sounds excited, so I assume these look pretty good.

Wow - sad and shocking news. 😥

Rep. Kam Buckner strongly denies Ganis's suggestion that Chris Welch is holding up action on this legislation. He says they're very close to getting something done. Interestingly, Buckner brings up the terrible Rate Field deal that incentivizes having few people attending Sox games.

The Kansas City city council has passed the $600M Royals stadium financing ordinance for a ballpark at Washington Square Park. https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/missouri/kansas-city/kcmo-city-council-passes-royals-stadium-financing-ordinance-clearing-way-for-team-to-play-downtown

That could change pretty quickly after Ishbia finally takes control of this franchise and completely cleans house in this organization. But that's still years away. Until then, yes, I can't imagine any FA who is in demand would want to come to play for this clown show of an organization in front of sparse crowds.
