Stumbled upon this – October 15, 1986. Jerry shows off a model of the new stadium to Edward A. Merkel, chair of the stadium liaison committee. 11 commentsWhat’s he pointing at and saying? Wrong answers only.Here’s where the fan can commit suicide if they watch too many games in a row.This is probably the Addison version of the design. The outfield is much more open. Looks like KauffmanI wish the Sox got “Armour Field” instead. More like a Camden Yards that was finished a year later.Is that a space in the outfield for fans to see game without paying?The angle of the upper deck in this model doesn’t seem to reflect how steep that actually came out in reality when this park opened.Jerry’s probably joking with Eddie about how the fans are gonna need rappelling equipment in order to safely go to the bathroom after a few beers.Guessing he didn’t want to pay for this photo to be in color.“Wouldn’t it be great if we angled it so the stadium is facing the iconic skyline?”“Nah, I think the Dan Ryan is a handsome expressway.”“Annnnnd this seat will be the last thing I spend money on … ever”“What is this, a stadium for ants?”“Right here, in this stadium, is where I will spend whatever it takes for multiple championships…”**hiding crossed 🤞fingers in left handLeave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
