How on earth is that better than Arlington Heights? They both look to be about the same distance from downtown. Certainly not by mileage. It is closer. Although I was mistaken before and it's serviced by a metra not an L stop. Anyways when I originally brought it up, I was much more thinking about it having been an option during the negotiations around the SF renovation. But hell, I don't understand why the McDome plan failed either.. Just because it was a dome instead of outdoor? The article bringing up Comiskey is interesting. The ideal would have been to make them a package deal in the early 90s. Now it seems like it would be awkward with the way Comiskey is positioned on the lot. It's possible I guess, but probably not ideal. Arlington Heights is pretty clearly better than Southworks now though. Southworks Pros: 1. Closer to density of Chicago 2. Slightly better transit. Although no L line, the proximity to downtown probably lends itself better to things like bus traffic (maybe even BRT routes) Cons: 1. Environmental cleanup cost Arlington Heights pros: 1. What it loses in density proximity to Chicago it probably makes up for in proximity to wealthy NW and North fanbase. 2. Much easier to deal with AH city than Chicago as far as negotiating any land use. Cons: 1. The Metra stop is very likely overrated. That line doesn't have a lot of traffic today and I don't think we can assume it will just traffic 20k fans or something. It's a car-centric development.
