No one will be proven right or wrong in this discussion because so many things will change if and when change ever happens. The bottom line is the Sox management are doing very well in the situation they are in now. I am sure they are extremely happy with the worth of their club increasing by leaps and bounds in current years. I am sure they have no regrets in where the park is currently because thats where they got the deal of the century. It was an enjoyable what if discussion. |

How far from West Allis and Wauwatosa? Its not a city like park.

It's near the border of West Allis.
Many city ballparks are not really in tune with their neighborhoods in that sense. USCF would obviously be one. But many others also come to mind: Citi Field, Dodger Stadium, Citizens Bank Park, Oakland Coliseum, and Turner Field. |

These points are constantly pointed out and yet we continue to beat the dead horse of last year's attendance over and over again.

There was a game in early April on a Sunday a coupe of years ago. There was no lake breeze, either. 23K was the announced attendance. Sure, the nice day attracted SOME people (like myself and wife), but the park wasn't magically going to be full. In 2007, the Sox lost 90 games, but drew 2.7K. Those tickets were sold in advance. It's really not that hard to grasp. Since Sox tickets are so easy to get, I have no motivation to buy tickets in advance. |

Had they built the park there, they probably would be trying to get back into city ten years later. By the late 90s, it was cool to be in the city again. I never bought into this, but lots of 20 somethings did. The casual fan always makes a difference at the gate. I saw plenty of them in 2006. Us die-hards don't like it, but that's how it is. Quite honestly, I never found traffic around the ballpark be that big of a deal. Of course, I probably been there so many times, I know my way around. |

Because the team hasn't been nearly as good since, either.

Of course it's true for almost every team but the Sox are a distant second in a two team area and that makes it all the more difficult for them. Yes the Cubs are very lucky for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is all they need to do is show up at home for every game to draw 3 million or so fans.
