This will never happen until Reinsdorf is not the owner.*

It doesn't suck anymore. It did at first. The renovations they did made it a perfectly fine park

Of course it sucks as far as nice stadiums go. But it's a perfectly fine place

it's easier to build a new stadium than it is to build a good team

Sounder
January 18, 2024, 8:46:10
I think I was unclear. It's a fine place to watch a game. The problem is the games (team) suck

Can't get around Fenway/Wrigley, but put Candlestick back in there and you'd have 4/6.

It’s crazy to me that Coors Field is third oldest NL stadium*

Like Reinsdorf will spend a penny of his own money on a stadium.*

Given how much the Fire lost last year, why didn’t they get this done?*

That lot is perfect for the Fire, Sox should stay in Bridgeport.*

gullit

I'd agree wholeheartedly, if the Fire weren't such a tirefire of an organization.

KingTalkyTiki
January 18, 2024, 14:20:03
Why? White Sox should make this happen. Fire are more inept and irrelevant than Sox*

Can that space accommodate a 70,000+ seat NFL stadium?

Yes, could definitely accomodate

bigbop85
January 18, 2024, 9:11:38
But you'd also get a super bowl, a final four, concerts, maybe a bowl game.*

Lets say you get three of those per year

bigbop85
January 18, 2024, 9:15:53
sure, but it's much higher profile. *

VIV
January 18, 2024, 9:18:31
no doubt, but "profile" doesn't help Related's commercial and residential real estate goals

bigbop85

fair enough*
