Beyond impractical and probably unrealistic. Anyway, Ishbia is just fishing for ideas to maximize his profits, all while he doesn't currently own a controlling share of the White Sox and , as far as I know, has not closed on the Contract for the Amtrak yard. Who knows, maybe he will buck out like he did with his ownership interest in the Twins. It depends on what deal might enrich him the most...or not.I choose to focus on the here and now - the very likable and exciting 2026 White Sox which he has nothing to do with.Anyway, White Sox aren't going anywhere for a long time. Relax, strap it down, and watch baseball.Can you save some Copeum for the rest 9f us?
4 hours ago4 hr What Does 'Copium' Mean, And Why Is Everyone Saying 'Cope' Online?knowyourmeme.com › editorials › guides2022年6月13日 · The "Copium" meme is often used to insult someone else, suggesting that they are responding with deluded expectations.Had to look that one up...
3 hours ago3 hr Ishbia has already had an impact on this year's team. First, it is fairly well known that he has purchased a substantial amount of the team (albeit non controlling shares). He definitely owns more of the team on a straight equity basis versus Reinsdorf. This is to say that his investment in the Sox is solid whereas he never invested a dime in the Twins. Second, I have no proof but the fact that the Sox signed Murakami and the fact that Ishbia told a fan that Murakami would never leave "not on my watch" suggests some tangential involvement with the team. I can't imagine that Reinsdorf and Ishbia do not have some sort of relationship / dialogue. Third, I believe that one only need look at how the Ishbias are running the Suns (as already pointed out in this thread) to understand what is coming for the Sox. They may not win but they sure try. The only difference between the Suns and the Sox will be the inversion of how much each brother owns with Justin owning more than Matt in the Sox.All that said, the Sox look to have built a decent foundation ahead of whenever it is that Ishbia takes over and that is a good thing for us now AND later so I don't know how anyone can be complaining.As for a new stadium, let the forces above us that we cannot control sort that out but I have high hopes that the final outcome will be a good one for our beloved franchise. It sure looks like it will be in and around the sites discussed ad nauseum in this thread.

If the Sox were depending full on Jerry, the man never signs here. Full Stop.

Have we noted the fact that the Amtrak yard would put the stadium across the border from the 3rd Ward of Alderwoman Dowell, who said she would oppose a second sports facility on the 78.Anyway as to the development of these sites: "Make no small plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood"It's Chicago. With the system that the local alderman have final approval over projects in their district, they all say now until they whip out their laundry list of demands and knock some items off of it. It's Chicago politics. If the Sox are willing to finance a part there, it WILL happen.
2 hours ago2 hr The spring session for the IL legislature has ended without any action for a new Bears stadium. So, what happens now? Do the Bears ink a deal with Indiana soon? I guess we'll find out if they were bluffing about Hammond all along. I doubt they were, but I also think that they would very much prefer to build on the Arlington site.One option is to call a special session, which has been done before on other issues, to get a stadium authority deal passed, but I don't know if that is even being considered at this time.
