The Sox didn't have a great April and had a terrible September. Aren't those the coldest months to play baseball? Teams that rely on the home run don't hit as many when it's cooler. Seems pretty obvious to me. Bob |

Not sure what Kenny meant by his statement in that regard.To develop more retail business would taxes or something go up in Bridgeport? His comment (paraphrasing) about understanding where the people are coming from made me think maybe the neighborhood doesn't want this. Lip |

Another reason that the Sox blew it when they stayed in bridgeport...should be in south loop. |

Man, that would have been a wise move.

We can talk about this until we are blue in the face, the fans did not come out this year because they rebelled against the high ticket prices to go along with the dynamic pricing BS.

Jerry and Rocky are learning this lesson with the United Center, which has absolutely killed gentrification on the West Side, but luckily, Rocky's not a stubborn old man like his dad, and they're starting to chip away at the parking lots in favor of more urban-friendly development.

If the Cell had been built in the South Loop I would bet my life they would be drawing alot more people than what they're drawing at the present location. One of the proposed sites for the new White Sox stadium was near Union Station. Everybody would of been better off if the park had been built there. Other cities all over the country have built their stadiums in their downtown areas for a very simple reason. It brings people downtown. Rather than the disaster that Block 37 has become in the Loop, a new baseball stadium would of brought more people downtown. Block 37 might have been more successful after a new stadium was built in the South Loop. Other cities have built their stadiums downtown and after the stadiums are built other businesses follow. It could have easily happened that way in Chicago. Unfortunately it didn't.

I'm not saying it's a major reason, and I agree with the other reasons you posted. But it definitely kept me from going, and I'm sure there are others who felt that way too.

This is exactly why the Sox being in the Loop would have been very good for the Sox. I know, water over the dam, too late now. Maybe if Daley had allowed a new retractable roof Bear stadium next to Soxpark, it could have worked out fine also....but no...would not want Super Bowls,Final Fours,Concerts ect year around in Bridgeport,I guess. |

I'm waiting for someone to explain how heat - like the economy - impacts Sox fans more than other human beings.
