If you look at the number of homicides, Chicago is very high, but if you look at those numbers against population, Chicago is dramatically lower than many other cities. I love this. I live in Oakland, and it is nice to get some perspective on how we stack up to other cities in this area. If we listen to San Franciscans, our city is so dangerous it is not worth crossing the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new stadium is an indoor stadium. Exhibit halls don’t get the height needed to see drill. If you think acoustics in a dome are bad, an exhibit hall would be atrocious. Corps would need lodging (schools if possible) then they would need to shuttle back and forth to exhibit halls? Vegas wouldn’t be practical. And there’s a reason it is down time for conventions and trade shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So where are there adequate facilities for all the corps and equipment and a venue with turf? North and west of Chicago would be Madison wouldn’t it?

But not the traffic (maybe I’m just numb to it). I don't know why the Rose Bowl is the focus here. You have the renovated Coliseum and two new stadiums that are being built there.

After that I probably won't know where I'm at anyway, so it won't make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
