Chicago Whitesox: The conceptual renderings for a proposed riverside stadium in Chicago’s “The 78” in the South Loop have been released.
It projects 5 million annual visitors, a $9 billion investment in Chicago, a $4 billion stabilized yearly economic impact, 32,000 jobs, 1,000 affordable units, $200 million annual tax revenue, 10+ acres of space for the community, and 1,300 residential units.
The park would be located in “The 78,” an area located in Chicago’s South Loop with a name paying homage to the city’s 77 official community areas, with the development serving as the city’s unofficial 78th neighborhood.
The area would feature considerable public transit access, with three CTA lines stopping at Roosevelt and State Street, just a few blocks east of the property: the Red, Green, and Orange Lines.
Several bus lines also provide close access to the area: the 3, 4, 12, 18, 24, 29, 62, 130, 146 and 157. There is also a water taxi stop at Ping Tom Park for fans who want a ride down the river.
