sec159row2 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 just some SI columnist's opinion, but it sounds well thought thru, except playing the gold medal baseball game in wrigley http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writ...2016/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreye Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 If that happens, I'll go on vacation for 16 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Where do they do the rowing events? Open water? Or the kayaking? Wisconsin? And there is no need to go to NIU or U of I for soccer...you have Soldier Field, Dyche Stadium, and the Bridgeview Fire Stadium. AND, whether baseball or softball gets added back in, there HAS TO BE 16" softball at the Chicago Games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Chicago is already congested as it is. Imagine all those goddamn tourists here. No point in having a car for those Olympic days since you won't be able to move anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Atlanta had the same problem, and they injected hundreds of millions into the infastructure to improve roads, etc. That would be ok for Chicago, wouldn't it? Of course the Dan Ryan will still fall to pieces 6 months after it's over, so whatever, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are totally tearing it down and rebuilding it from the ground up. This year they have been redoing the ramps and bridges. It is going to be U-G-L-Y.

I remember when they did that to the Edens in the 80's...what a nightmare. Looks like Lake Shore Drive is gonna get a LOT more traffic for a while. How long did they say it was going to take?

I swear that is what they have been doing for the last 5 years lol. Seriously, it seems that the Ryan is in a perpetual state of "repair."

I believe Lake Michigan is too choppy for rowing. And kayaking events are in whitewater...I'm guessing there isn't too much whitewater on Lake Michigan. Nope...no whitewater.
