Much better coverage from a South Side paper. Daley, however, blows off any criticism of the stadium being an island, surrounded by nothing. Go to Campden Yards in Baltimore. Beautiful, inviting, old-park feel, and a boardwalk of retailers outside the park. You can even peek in on the game during the lunch hour while eating a hotdog NOT bought in the park.

You can do to the inner harbor at Camden Yards.

And having been in both, it's a helluva lot better than New Comisky or whatever they are calling it today.

Calling it Cell Block is stupid, but Camden Yards has more appeal as a ballpark than Comiskey

Carlos May, Bill Melton, Dick Allen
