    Yea, Naperville lacks any ready made site for something on that scale. I don't know if they're bad at it, per se. They just don't have a lot of leverage within the state and no one would ever buy threats to leave the state. Whatever leverage talking with Naperville/Soldier Field can buy them is probably worth the menial effort, but, yea, no one is gonna get fooled.

    But the delusion is crazy. I've legit seen people think that the tank and build foundation thing is actually some simple and foolproof process. Example: You all just aren't willing to SACRIFICE

    I'm not gonna complain about ending the Cubs drought haha
  4. WrigleyField 22
    I blame Sam Hinkie
  5. WrigleyField 22
    Disagree.

    I don't know if it's recency bias of all the poor PG play the Bulls have had lately, but if they're trading up that high, I want Scoot, not Miller. And I'm pretty generally anti tank, but I'd do a Lavine centered trade and roll the dice. But I wouldn't sell off every last piece to fully tank. Would have no problem keeping around Derozan on his last year as vet leader. Would need a unprotected pick or a player pick combo to move him in that case. But I'm also an extreme casual as far as basketball these days so don't listen to me lol

    Really thought the slow play Brewers trojan horse had worked and nsbb was nuked.

    Figured. St. Louis is basically 5 hours from every Midwestern city. I went to SLU and every Midwestern City was represented with a cache of students, 5 hours from home.

    Trying to triangulate you Anyways, according to drive time stadium to stadium, Lucas Oil edges out Soldier Field by about an hour of drive time. But considering the broader CHI base and prob better flight options, and a fan base that travels, likely thier strongest road revenue turnout for the city. Nashville also about equal drive time as Chicago fwiw.

    It's a consensus of at least 3 and #4 will weigh in soon

    If we let them ruin generational it will really put into question my "#1 Dad" mug.

    Based in what I saw their attendance last year was a hair over official capacity (100.4%). But some of these stadiums have such low "official" figures with big expandable or SRO capacity, I don't really know what that means. They have a pretty big stadium. Is it possible the easily sell out 97-100% of official capacity but have a +3% SRO capacity they dip into only a few times a year for big draws? http://www.espn.com/nfl/attendance/_/sort/homePct You can see other sites that track it differently though (for example counting Dallas as their official 80k instead of the expandable 100k capacity). Not sure what Arrowheads deal is there.

    It's called protecting the brand

    Yea that's what I mean. In any sport the "generational" tag needs to be reserved at least for guys who would have been easy #1s the year before they actually came out / were eligible. Caveats with really strong/weak drafts being beside the point. If it's just a guy who's an easy #1 in his draft year then he's a bona-fide/consensus #1 or something, but not a "generational prospect". Probably arbitrary, but that's how I've been likenining it with cross sports references. Like so far out ahead of the field theat everyone saw it/would have capitalized on it for like 24 straight months.
  15. WrigleyField 22
    Well caveat then *assuming nuetral draft strength*
  16. WrigleyField 22
    Would have gone #1 at that time? Not a 2023 to 2021/22 comp. But like would have gone #1 as a 15/16 year old in 2021/22?
  17. WrigleyField 22
    I like the "would have easily been #1 pick the year before his draft" measure, which Bedard meets.
  18. WrigleyField 22
    Well now I get to just point out the semantical debate about how it's not evenly distributed so you can have concurrent generational talents. 1979 1984 2005 2015
  19. WrigleyField 22
    Only one every thirty years. Thems the rules!
  20. WrigleyField 22
    I've admittedly checked out a lot the past few years. Basically stuck with Seth Jones and then also traded any other decent player they had right? So basically Jones, Bedard, and blank slate? Any minor leaguers that will likely be up in a top 6 role?
  21. WrigleyField 22
    If depth is what they need, then sit back. Or trade other picks for multiple established young pieces?
  22. WrigleyField 22
    DBB has been saying it for a while. Chiefs have a pretty big stadium. Does it have a lot of SRO capacity? http://www.espn.com/nfl/attendance/_/sort/homePct
  23. WrigleyField 22
    Nice write up raw. I can't agree more about the process-result thoughts on Wright. I hope it's solid process and great results. But agreed, not really sure.
