Hilarious fact: when discussions were held to replace the original Comiskey Park, which opened in 1910 and was showing its age due to neglected maintenance and structural repairs, weeks and months were spent studying the relocation of the new stadium to the suburbs. When the dust settled, the new stadium was built within a few feet of the old ballpark that was due to be demolished. One of the constants in all of the discussions was the undesirable location of the old stadium in a post industrial wasteland surrounded by public housing projects.
LOL! No wonder the Chisox were BO’s favorite team. The ‘hood didn’t want to lose their prey and its attractant.
