“The 78” + "The Railyard" = the future of the Sox and Fire

I saw on my Facebook feed earlier tonight that the next public hearing in Bridgeport with Amtrak has been scheduled for Sept. 17 and that Ishbia will be there in addition to Amtrak officials.

I don't have a link because I can't find it now.

  • Great, more of this "global warming" Chinese hoax bullshit. Sullivan is trying to push the hoax even more. I just watched a Joe Rogan Experience podcast and Joe actually said we are in a global coolin

    This will make the conversation better.

  • The Sox aren’t moving to Nashville or anywhere. Nashville will get an expansion team or nothing.

This might be it:


AI Overview

Billionaire Shore Capital founder and Chicago White Sox minority owner Justin Ishbia is scheduled to attend a rescheduled community meeting on Thursday, September 17, 2026, at 6:30 PM at the Pui Tak Center (2218 S. Wentworth Ave.).

Facebook

The meeting, organized to address intense neighborhood pushback, will include Ishbia, officials from Amtrak, and members of his development firm, Canal Edge LLC. Local residents and elected officials, led by 11th Ward Alderwoman Nicole Lee, are fiercely opposing a plan that involves moving Amtrak's 24/7 maintenance yard into Bridgeport to make room for Ishbia’s massive new South Loop riverfront megadevelopment, "The Railyards"—which could eventually house a new White Sox stadium.

I will give Ishbia credit for facing a hostile crowd.

If you live in Bridgeport you get free fireworks show. Just look up.

What if you want peace and quiet?

You won't have White Sox traffic 80 times a year...

I think Ishbia will present more of an open for discussion instead of a take it or leave it proposal. He has the ability to write a huge check directly to the ward which goes a long way.

Where were all those interested constituents when it came to building anything resembling an entertainment village in the surrounding neighborhood?

Oh, that got shot down by JR wanting to put all those dollars in his own pocket...even when it was just 2-3 neighborhood bars/pubs.

And those damned parking lots...along with the railroad viaduct separating the ball park and surrounding neighborhoods into two distinct walled off fiefdoms...really it's three if you consider the Dan Ryan border.

Then you should be glad they are moving instead of remaining in Bridgeport.

Someone asked, what are the people of Bridgeport really losing if the Sox move? I jokingly responded "free fireworks". I guess if I have to explain it it's a pretty lame post.

He's got one week to binge watch Parks and Rec to learn about public hearing crowds.

What’s even more impressive is that he’s jetting in all the way from Winnetka to attend this meeting. I hope he’s not too jet lagged after making that trip.

Is a citizen’s filibuster a thing in Chicago?
