This is the last thing that Reinsdorf deserves.

 

 

I would tell him: if it's publicly funded, then it's owned by the city of Chicago, it's going to have a retractable roof, and the city will use it however it wants for the 284 days a year that the Sox aren't at home, and keep all revenues from that usage. If you want anything other than that, pay for it yourself.

This is a blank canvas and there are so many awesome options. A stadium that overlooks the skyline! They could really build something special. However, they need to have a plan for traffic because Roosevelt can be a real clusterf*ck between State and all the way past Canal. 

Public transportation would be incredible there.  Be a lot less need to drive from the burbs.

That water taxi quote sounds interesting too. This really sounds like a fun location for a park.

Now I'm going to be devastated when it comes out years later that this could have been something really cool that we miss our on a la the Camden Yards design.

Exactly. We can dream but once everyone gets their greedy little fingers in the pot it's just going to be garbage.

I had to do a double take. I expected it to be an old article from the first time the site was considered. 

I thought the land was spoken for, but a new modern stadium at Clark & Roosevelt would be game changer for the future health of the whole White Sox organization. 

Please Universe, please make it happen.

The Bears are working like hell to get out of that deal.

This would literally be a dream come true if were to happen.  Hopefully this ends up being Jerry’s final olive branch for decades of terrible ownership.

How far away would it be from LaSalle Street Metra Station?

I always pass that location on my way into the city and seems very feasible that they could just construct another stop in the nothingness that lives there if they so chose to do so. Would LOVE this location.
