GreatScott82 Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 9 minutes ago, fathom said: Awful, there are no Sox fans out that way I’m not so sure about that. The suburbs are much different than the Northside/Southside city dynamic. It’s very blended between Sox and Cubs fans. If you build the next stadium in the Chicagoland area, Sox fans will show up from all over. What’s a better suburban alternative? Schaumburg? Naperville?  When and if Ishibia takes over, I’m sure he will want to build a Soxtown around his new stadium. I’m not so sure he can do that if he shares an Arlington heights site with the Bears?

Naperville would be good, Tinley would be amazing 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Unless JR is willing to put up a LOT of his own money this will be a difficult sell... doesn't matter if it is downtown in the current location or in any suburb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Deep southwest suburbs is the only place that would make sense that isn't the city. But the city just makes sense so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 The Sox and Bears both belong in Arlington or Naperville. Bears have all this land in Arlington to build a Cowboys-like compound. The Sox need to get out of a city with major major problems and head to suburbia. Go in with the Bears for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrockway Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I think the City should just annex Arlington Heights. It's a pointless place. It only exists to siphon off tax revenue to spend on...god knows what 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grew up and lived in TP my whole life until last October, when I moved more south to Manhattan. I approve them coming closer to Tinley lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
