As your program grown much in those ten years?

San Antonio built a pitch on the site of a golf course they purchased. We practice at the still open driving range and I've been out there a few times watching. I would probably enjoy it more if I really understood the rules. I see way more kids playing soccer than other sports, both when I was in Illinois and now in Texas. Interestingly even in football crazy Texas we see families deciding to not risk their kids brains in football and channel them into other sports. It's predominately at schools with high socio economic status.

Please don't take a high school kid with the #1.

Seems about right. There are still a lot of games to play. This team doesn't feel like they are two steps from disaster.

I never thought anyone could impress me more than Bo. But I believe some of y'all can build a Ohtani case.

I'm thinking a big inning will happen sometime this week.

That seems like a great strategy.

This. Major donors hold the power.

I agree. We probably disagree if it will be as mainstream as it was in the 1950s, 1980s, or 2020s. I see parents and kids at games and they are all lost in their phones. How many right now are watching the game and posting here? Perhaps it starts with virtual eSports teams in the Nashville and San Antonios of the world without physical franchises. Image games that fit into a perfect 90 minute videosteam.

Giving up on the NFL or switching teams? Packers maybe? That would be an interesting dynamic shift if Chicago became Packer Country. It would serve the McCaskey 's well.

I think that's exactly what @Kyyle23 said.

Isn't that almost every state? I've enjoyed most of every state I've visited. My last trip through Central Indiana was a big eye opener in a positive way. New York survived the New Jersey takeover. Illinois and Chicago will survive this. But honestly anything other than Bear weather on the lakefront sucks in my mind. But football domes and Super Bowls are big sellers. I'm reminded of an African proverb that Gwendolyn Brooks said at my college graduation, "when elephants fight, it's the grass that gets trampled." Guess who the grass is?

Plus it's easy to make an offer that you know has little chance to succeed. I wonder how much support there would be if fans were guaranteed somehow the stadium savings would directly go to player payrolls and be spent building winning teams instead of creating more wealth for the owners.

Trying to gather public demand for a stadium. While they may think the public has short memories, JR's threats are still remembered by fans forty years later. Of course the Bears are remembering the "midnight deal" that kept the team in Chicago. I barely believed JR's current threats, I'm even less inclined to believe the only team of is kind in Chicago threats. I still wish they could build on the Soldier Field site.
