  1. Just post the entire article. The mods here don't care.
  2. Say what you want about Dipoto, but the guy keeps it interesting. I wish we had him.

    PUIG

    How often to players come back at 33 after being out of the league for 4 years? It ain't happening.
  4. Jerry strikes me as more of an Acapulco guy.
  5. Maybe he wants to hear @Sports Guy's latest proposal
  6. The renderings just need TLR's stamp of approval first.
  7. I like Dylan Cease a lot. To be completely honest, I'd feel really bad sending him to the complete dump that is Baltimore, home to possibly the dumbest fanbase in the county.
  8. I don't see how that would work. Wouldn't most of the construction have to wait until the Sox stadium is fully built and they've started playing there?
  9. Maybe he's actually getting self conscious about his legacy. The guy would get booed after his death harder than Jerry Krause did.
  10. Multiple subsurface investigations have already been performed there. Nothing there is that alarming. Some areas will need to be hauled off, and anything removed will need to go to a landfill. But they can cap it all with pavement or clean fill. Part of the land already has a no further remediation letter. In the grand scheme of things, environmental will be a small drop in the bucket for a project of this magnitude.
  11. Have any articles touched on the possibility of a retractable roof? The renderings I saw definitely didn't have one.
  12. Make sure to work out your core muscles regularly. Don't want to hurt your back from carrying all that water for the organization.
  13. Nothing there is alarming from an environmental standpoint. Building on fill material next to a river won't take a stroke of engineering genius like he is describing. It's nothing that unusual. Soldier Field is built on fill material. That entire area used to be part of Lake Michigan. http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/3713.html
  14. Apparently they've already done investigation and some remediation at the location, which makes sense. Looks like they wouldn't need any more investigation, and minimal reporting. I think at this point they'd just need to remediation consisting of digging up the dirty dirt and making some barriers, which would essentially coincide with regular construction. I don't see it as a major hurdle.
  15. I'd imagine the environmental investigation and remediation will add an extra year onto the process, at a minimum.
  16. Nothing there would be too difficult or expensive from an environmental or structural standpoint to overcome. Lincoln Yards sold for 7mil an acre despite being riddled with environmental issues.
