New White Sox Stadium is a proposed baseball stadium to be constructed in Chicago, Illinois, on land owned by real estate developer Related Midwest. It will be home to the Chicago White Sox of Major League Baseball. Capacity, cost, ownership, and financing are yet to be determined. Opening is planned for 2030.

Background

[edit]

White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf entered into serious discussions with Related Midwest about constructing a stadium on under-developed land located in the South Loop know colloquially as "The 78", a 62-acre parcel of land, once his lease expires at the team's current home, Guaranteed Rate Field. In addition to the stadium, the plan calls for retail, offices, and housing.[1][2][3][4]
