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 amazingÂ
April 2, 20251 yr 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.Â
April 2, 20251 yr Deep southwest suburbs is the only place that would make sense that isn't the city. But the city just makes sense so.

April 2, 20251 yr 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.

April 2, 20251 yr 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
