The vote in Addison was all Pate's doing, he was a Cub fan and didn't want the Sox in Addison. Here's the thing, when we first moved to DuPage county in 1972, we lived about a mile west of the proposed site in Bloomingdale, it was in an empty field no where near the main population center of Addison. Most of the traffic heading to the park would be from 355 to the south and 290 from the east and the north. From the west fans would have driven on North Ave or Lake street. I'm not even sure the land was in Addison, it was just about a mile south of Medinah Country Club.
Where the Dave & Buster's is located? I work across the street from Medinah Country Club and can't even begin to think how awesome it would be right now if the Sox were located down the road.
