[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 2017570, member: 746137"] With this as with the Bears, I just really wish the relevant parties were looking at the bigger picture for the entire South Loop/Museum Campus area. Sox in the 78 could be a success, but it would require an entire reimaging of the way that part of the city is integrated into the transportation network. If we're being coldly cynical about it, the White Sox actually have a greater degree of leverage than the Bears because the White Sox can plausibly threaten to leave the market. That's related to the thing about the Cubs. The Ricketts only made the briefest of gestures at the suburbs for leverage and got laughed at, the idea of leaving Wrigley doesn't pass the straight face test. Wrigley is a goldmine. A monopoly on NFL Football in Chicagoland is a goldmine. They don't need public money and everyone knows it. [/QUOTE]
