Why does this have to be a Cubs - Sox thing? It's a DIRTY political deal that everyone knows about...but yet is just supposed to accepted like all the other DIRTY political deals throughout the state. Illinois is so fucked up! Just keep up the money grabs from the public to pay for whatever shenanigans / shemadigans the DIRTY politicians come up with next.
This isn't about Illinois.

There are many much worse deals out there. If the Sox were selling a ton of tickets it wouldn't even be a bad deal for the city or state. The unfortunate part is they haven't been good and fans aren't coming out.

Compare that to the guy in Indianapolis who literally became a billionaire thanks to the people of Indiana and we can stop being so worked up about some free rent while the Sox lose out on a lot of revenue themselves.

Sure there is.

The excellent lease deal negotiated by Jerry allows him to run a patronage business where results are irrelevant. The nature of baseball's cable TV revenue model and taxpayer subsidized expenses allows him to realize a satisfactory minimum return. As a result he can hand jobs out as favors.

He appears to be at a point in life where maximizing monetary return isn't a priority. One day I'd like to be a place where he is.
He would make a lot more money selling more tickets. Are you saying he does not want to?

I don't think he cares either way.

No one will change that and no one can do anything about it. So why continually bemoan it?

Leash would not have put a smiley face, and don't forget about Kirkwood.

Please tell us what us Sox fans can do about this now? For the rest of the life of the ballpark do we really need to sit and cry? I mean, really at this point, what difference does it make? :wink:
