I think the worms will get to him before that ever happens. He has zero leverage. His team blows and the Cubs are still in the same city. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy going to games this year. $67 million dollar payroll. Jerry loves your support. Throw a sh!t product out on the field and some chump will still pay to see it. The team won’t win anything but Jerry will. Edited February 9 by WhiteSox2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 9 hours ago, 77 Hitmen said: Yes, JR wanted to build a stadium in Addison, but when that feel through, I thought it was Harold Washington that insisted that the Sox accept the current location of "The Rate" as the location for a new ballpark in order to get the city's support. You are correct. Washington said it would be built across the street from the original park or he would tell his people on the Stadium Authority to vote 'no.' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 https://www.wbez.org/real-estate-development/2025/01/31/discovery-partners-institute-university-illinois-the-78-related-midwest-bruce-rauner Tax payers and the U of I are already out North of 30 Million on the 78 nonsense. The so-called "78" parcel sits on a former river bed that was filled in with garbage for over a decade. It has no value , which is why it was given away by Nadhmi Shakir Auchi, an Iraqi businessman who purchased it from then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s former political fixer Tony Rezko ( convicted in 2008 of corruption-related charges and sentenced to more than 10 years in federal prison.) The site is a worthless dump that unfortunately the U lof I and IL taxpayers had to find out after spending 30 Million. The least Related Development could do now is to stop dragging the White Sox and other potential partners/tenants into a pipe dream designed to bail Related out. Not going to happen...ever. Dead in the water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBWSF Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Its going to be interesting to see how this plays out. The present ownership does not want to renew the lease at the present stadium. If there is new ownership maybe they might think differently about staying at the present stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d think the fact Jerry went to Springfield and pitched this proposal would be proof that Related isn’t conning anyone, but alas, hard to pass on a good conspiracy theory!
