Here’s what a new White Sox ballpark in the South Loop could look like

New details have emerged of the plan for a new South Loop stadium, as well as what the team’s current Bridgeport home, Guaranteed Rate Field, would look like if converted to a soccer stadium.

If The White Sox can afford it, have at it. Are the taxpayers still paying for the last mistake? I am a sports fan but businesses should be able to pay for their own assets. It is not like the fan gets a break for subsidizing them.

Should be a new domed (retractable?) facility at the site for the Bears which could also be used for Super Bowls, Final 4's etc.. No public money (other than infrastructure) for a baseball facility that really only benefits the Sox.

Isn't it weird how old technology stadiums lasted 100 years and new ones (Brewers, White Sox, Soldier) only last 30 years or so. I guess we'll have another new Ryan Field and WRA in 25 years or so ( /s if it's not obvious)

If they are it is the city's fault. It has been there for over 30 years and had a cost of $137 mill. Small change in the price of stadiums these days. Heck city probably found a way to be more in debt than the original cost
