  1. He was the WORST of the wrigley to own the team. Bill wrigley took over but had to sell when he got divorced. He was the one that began to treat the team seriously.
  2. The cheapskate that let his team rot for years until he died?
  3. Virgina McCaskey is the second owner of the bears, and her father died 40 years ago. when she was in her 60's. the Blackhawks are on their FOURTH Wirtz as owner.
  4. Nashville does NOT want the sox or any other team that moves to the market. they want expansion.
  5. the talk is that the metra and cta stations would be adjacent, almost serving as a transit center, and that make clark and 15th the center of the project. it would be hard to say no to rail service that could connect someone with minimal transfer from as far as Joliet all the way to Skokie.
  6. the bears beat the nazi's of the parks in 2001. this plan requires the creation of new parkland and underground parking, something that is hard to counter as not good for the lakefront.
  7. warren has nine years to build a stadium, either in AH or the lakefront. johnson has two years until re-election
  8. A domed stadium with at least 70k, will get more than one final four. as for the super bowl, northern states only get one anyway.
  9. i would have wanted random ass GM to fire getz and everyone else LAST offseason.
  10. The 1991 and 2006 posted numbers don’t factor in comps. they both drew 3 million fans.
  11. then RE-READ what i posted. unless reading comprehension is NOT your friend.
  12. this fanbase always finds something to b**** about.
  13. yet it happens daily at the other venues. trains always packed at wrigley, soldier, and the UC.
  14. there were a lot of proposals in the 60's. one was that the cubs AND sox played in the south loop while the bears and hawks got stadiums nearby. but old man daley also wanted northerly island as a sox site. the bears only moved to soldier field after the nfl placed minimum capacity requirements.
  15. the SECOND it was announced it was horrible
  16. this team is WORSE off now than it was 1-2 years ago.
  17. private lots were selling parking for pearl jam at wrigley for $200 last week. and that area was jam packed with traffic before, during, and after the show. the sox model may be "outdated" but wrigley is ancient.
  18. roosevelt and the ryan will make terminator 2 look like house party 2.
  19. which is why a publicly financed stadium is their plan. things move quickly when the government gets involved.
