June 5, 2025Jun 5 Is the cash infusion to begin planning/construction of a new stadium? If so, why would anyone allow JR to be involved in the design after his disaster with Comiskey II?

Our grass is dead and on fire.

June 5, 2025Jun 5 Jerry will stay alive and full of vitality through 2034 by feeding on the blood of Cuban prospects

June 5, 2025Jun 5 In regard to moving the team. I am not certain folks realize how big Chicago is when encompassing the region as compared to areas like Cincinnati, Pittsburgh. MIlwaukee etc. Yes the cubs dominate but there is still moe potential I know this comes up often but it cannot be said enough

Regarding 2029, are they timing it for when the current stadium lease is up? It might have spurred the release, but that has been in progress behind the scenes for a long time.

Make the effort to win back and create new Sox fans and you're far better off than waiting for locals to support a transplanted team.
