00:00For years on this radio station
00:03people talk about
00:0435th and Shields as if they're
00:07There they're they're going into a war zone. I don't know if if people have been to Bridgeport
00:15especially lately
00:17Bridgeport is
00:19Awesome. It's a fun place to go. It has great restaurants all around it
00:25The people are nice the demographics of that neighborhood are also changing a lot
00:30So you're seeing a lot of different types of people in that area?
00:34I hate hearing the Commissioner of Baseball
00:37Talk about that ballpark in the way that we've heard a lot of callers over the years
00:43Talk about whether that location that location is tough the location of the stadiums tough, but no, it's not
00:49He's trying I think he's just trying to have Jerry Reinsdorf's back
00:53I understand and when he says location is tough. He's trying to say
00:57He's because he's trying to back them wanting the new stadium in the south loop
01:01But we've got to stop just accepting that type of nonsense speeds. You have to stop explaining it away as well
01:07He's just like it's it's BS. He's bad at his job and he's inelegant and he's uncomfortable
01:14Do you know why the stadium the location seems tough from people on the outside?
01:19because Jerry Reinsdorf
01:21Unlike the majority of other owners in baseball has refused to spend on development around the stadium
01:28He's committed to the parking. He's committed to those giant-ass parking lots
01:33there's no there's no sense of culture over there outside of lot B and
01:37Cork and Gary at the park and turtles and shinnecks and Bernice's and Maria's it's like you have to walk a few blocks
01:44But if Jerry just put some damn money into building an attraction
01:48Outside of the stadium the area wouldn't seem so quote-unquote tough. It's the cash cow
01:53It's the cash cow of the parking lots, which was very short sighted stupid, dude
01:57Just a connect and there were plenty of offers for him to do stuff over there
02:02And he didn't I it just always feels like a slap
02:06You know
02:07Like it always feels like a slap at the south side
02:10And I hate that like it's someone who grew up on the south side someone who lives on the south side currently
02:16I hate it
