Is a new stadium for the White Sox really in discussion, although we still don't know how it looks during a game at their current one?

The notion of relocating the Sox’s stadium three miles north is the most uplifting news fans have had since an introduction in Game 3 of the 2021 ALDS.

An outlook of Chicago skyscrapers would be stunning, but not $2 billion stunning.

There are logistical concerns – would a stadium and parking really fit there? – along with infrastructure questions and financial details – who’s paying for this?

Quick Glance: Broadway Icon Chita Rivera Dies at 91

Chita Rivera, the dynamic dancer, singer, and actress who blazed a trail for Latina artists in a long Broadway career and overcame a near-fatal car accident, passed away on Tuesday.

Rivera first gained wide notice in 1957 as Anita in the original production of 'West Side Story' and was still dancing with her trademark energy a half-century later in 2015’s 'The Visit' on Broadway.

In the 1993 musical 'Kiss of the Spider Woman,' Rivera played the title role, a glamorous movie star at the center of the fantasy life of an inmate in a South American prison.

The songwriters for 'Chicago,' Kander and Ebb, also wrote Rivera’s first Tony-winning performance, for 'The Rink.' In winning the Tony for best actress in a musical, Rivera topped the show’s top star, Liza Minnelli, who also had been nominated.
