I have this feeling that if Jerry buys it, all of a sudden all those concerts and other stuff that was going to happen there for the last 20 years that didnt, would suddenly start again.

Once again, I don't think they are moving there, just saying it might get intentionally leaked.

I would welcome concerts at the park...I saw the Stones there in 02, and it sounded really good.

It is typical for large space users to start negotiating terms 3 years before an expiration date.

I don'k you really believe this. C'mon. This is more of a shot at Jerry for the Tampa stuff...Correct?

Didn't the last link you posted indicate that the current lease runs to 2029?

This was going to be one of the big benefits of this PUBLIC FACILITY. I think 02 was the last show?

Let the genius move them to Vegas. Same moron who thought Florida was a good idea.

LOL

They are not going to move to Vegas! Jerry will not even say he is even thinking about it, but my guess is that it will be hinted upon!

Wouldn't you rather have the Rays organization in Chicago BigFan than the White Sox at this point?

Last thing Theo would want is competing with Friedman with Friedman having White Sox revenues.

It would suck if they go to Las Vegas. Let's use this thread as a way to remember the World Champion 2005 Chicago White Sox.

BRick, would it really be that bad?

IF the Cubs were even looking at either Arlington Heights or Vegas, I would take Vegas!

Thats a good weekend road trip!

I know it is a stretch (Stretch...) but don't be surprised if you start hearing it as a viable new relocation for the Sox, as the Sox lease terms negotiations start. It is typical for large space users to start negotiating terms 3 years before an expiration date. I do not think they will move there, I am just telling you it might be mentioned, hinted, etc in hopes of some leverage. Either way, would like to just see the state sell it to Jerry and The Sox. He can get a great deal and the state can recoup some of it's losses on this bad deal for the State of Illinois. I have this feeling that if Jerry buys it, all of a sudden all those concerts and other stuff that was going to happen there for the last 20 years that didnt, would suddenly start again.

Now you could say that any city in the US could have been mentioned, but Vegas for a new baseball team has some legs, that is why I mentioned Vegas.

I know there is an option, which I think goes to 2029 and I am sure there is also Language of the lease being redone if certain numbers arent hit. For the third time, I am not saying they are going to be moved, telling you the idea might be leaked.

I want to say the last show was Springsteen in 03 or 04...plus they have the religious nuts in there every year for one of their goofy weekend god bonding sessions.

Wow. Cubs get the best Gm available, and this is the shit thread you start bagman? I bet it would really chap your ass if the Sox lease deal gets extended! Or even better yet, their rent goes down!!!

12 minutes, you're slipping. If the rent went down it should chap everyones ass, we would all pay for that

It is really easy to stay in touch with your team long distance now. Still, if the Sox moved, I'd probably drop them.

While I dont think you NEED to have played at a major level to have a good Manager/coach, but I think it helps a ton that he played in college. You know who is really good when you are the field!

Next five years BigFan, who do you think has more wins, Sox or Cubs? I don't see Jerry backing down to Theo and that bunch. Kenny also seems determined.

It would be a cool trip, but I'd have big trouble dealing with Chicago no longer being a Sox town.

If there is one baseball team likely to move outside of Chicago city limits, its most certainly the Cubs. The likely hood of them moving to the burbs for a new stadium is much more than the Sox moving to Vegas.
