I spy a baseball field.

What happened?

Tray was swallowed by a canal gator/imported croc?

Just joshin' with you.

I know they are just renderings and will more than likely not be what it actually looks like, but the small piece of the outside we can see looks cool as hell.

This is fucking amazing news! Love how proactive ishbia is being rather than begging politicians for taxpayer money

Is there a way to view this without having an X account? I can barely make out the images in the slides. If I zoom in on my browser, the images get blurry. Is there a baseball stadium in the renderings? Everyone else sounds excited, so I assume these look pretty good.

I'd post the full res images but i dont even think i can post 1 without going over attachment cap

From the renderings, it looks like the ballpark is still on the 78 site, and the Amtrak site has the ballpark village. Also looks like there's a pedestrian bridge that says "Welcome to the home of the Sox."

It says "Phase 1 land aligns with a realistic stadium footprint." Phase 1 land is the north end of the Amtrak yard, not the 78 side.

You're right, but how does that match the renderings? If that's the St. Charles Air Line bridge in the background of the top drawing, we have to looking south from the west side of the river, and the ballpark is on the other side.

Was told this might be leaking soon. Don’t worry, there will be parking

Ingress/egress? Dirt clods on highways? Unprecedented environmental devastation on a scale out of only a Stephen King or Cormac McCarthy novel?

This is so cool, especially when the Bears are probably leaving the city core. If the Sox pull this off they will create something special in that neighorhood. I feel for the old neighborhood but from my half a dozen or so trips to the Cell it never really stood out. I just remember a lot of parking lots, some residential and some fairly low density commercial otherwise and the stadium was just sorta dumped into it almost.

The bottom rendering looks a bit like old photos of the outside of Comiskey Park.

I don't spy surface lots. Tell Ishbia to stop this pursuit!

The Chicagoland taxpayer:

Does this qualify as North Bridgeport? Asking for a... ummmm... just asking.
