I am laughing at you sir.

I always thought the truth hurts.  I didn’t know it was funny.  Enjoy going to games this year.  $67 million dollar payroll.  Jerry loves your support.  Throw a sh!t product out on the field and some chump will still pay to see it.  The team won’t win anything but Jerry will.

Yes, JR wanted to build a stadium in Addison, but when that feel through, I thought it was Harold Washington that insisted that the Sox accept the current location of "The Rate" as the location for a new ballpark in order to get the city's support.

You are correct. Washington said it would be built across the street from the original park or he would tell his people on the Stadium Authority to vote 'no.'

Tax payers and the U of I are already out North of 30 Million on the 78 nonsense.

The so-called "78" parcel sits on a former river bed that was filled in with garbage for over a decade. It has no value , which is why it was given away by Nadhmi Shakir Auchi, an Iraqi businessman who purchased it  from then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s former political fixer Tony Rezko ( convicted in 2008 of corruption-related charges and sentenced to more than 10 years in federal prison.)

The site is a worthless dump that unfortunately the U lof I and IL taxpayers had to find out after spending 30 Million. The least Related Development could do now is to stop dragging the White Sox and other potential partners/tenants into a pipe dream designed to bail Related out. Not going to happen...ever. Dead in the water.

Taxpayers are out of more than $30 million for University of Illinois' scuttled South Loop project

That’s how much taxpayers had to pay when the University of Illinois pulled the plug on plans for its Discovery Partners Institute research hub at the sprawling 62-acre South Loop site being marketed as The 78.

"Both The 78 and the Pritzker/UI quantum computing facility are being developed by Related Midwest."

Doesn't seem like Related is all that screwed yet...

Related are good damn swindlers…don’t get how they keep conning everyone!!!!  Poor Jerry even went to Springfield to sell his 78 vision because those evil fucks at Related brainwashed him.

Its going to be interesting to see how this plays out. The present ownership does not want to renew the lease at the present stadium. If there is new ownership maybe they might think differently about staying at the present stadium.
