Yeah, the Sox have to either exercise the full $22mm option, or they do the $4mm buyout and he becomes a free agent.

So, it's basically like an "early termination fee".

I'd like to have Peavy back if possible, but Myers I won't miss.

I've never gone to a game to see sausages running around the ballpark or races on the scoreboard. I go hoping to see a White Sox win in a clean ballpark. That being said we had a first place team for most of the year and the fans did not come out and support the team, there is only one answer, the ticket and parking prices are too damn much and lets hope that the Sox braintrust come to the same conclusion.

How much is the tax that it costs 25 bucks to park?

I'd suspect there's probably some state and county taxes in there, too, but their websites, unlike the city's, were apparently designed by jackasses and are not very user friendly.

Well, I just researched it, and it turns out that what Rongey said on the radio is wrong. He said the tax was $20. Turns out the tax is $5 per car on weekdays, $3 on weekends, so the Sox are charging $20 regardless of day, and the rest is tax (parking is $25 on weekdays and $23 on weekends.)
So, they could lower it without losing money. Statement withdrawn. |

![]() Probably no more than 5 bucks and with the red line shutting down, I'd imagine it will be 30 bucks next year to park. |

There's still the Metra line.

When everyone compares the Sox to Texas please remember, even though it has paid off, traded for Hamilton which is a risk I wouldn't want the Sox to take.

Which is fine if you live in the south suburbs. For the rest of us, there's the green line, which is only another couple blocks. IIRC, the red line trains are going to be run on those tracks next year, so it won't be impossible. I'm not sure if the Bronzeville/IIT station is big enough to handle the post-game crush, though.

The Red Line is not being shut down, it is being rerouted to the Green Line tracks south of Roosevelt. Anybody unfamiliar with the CTA can still catch the train where they always have and everyone else even slightly savvy with public transportation in Chicago is undoubtedly already aware of Bronzeville-IIT-35th

![]() Tough sell considering the Sox conveniently dont advertise that option much and neither does metra. People coming from the north would have to pay twice, cta and metra to get to park and then there is the scheduling issue. Im thinking the Sox will take advantage of next years opportunity. |
