This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

And I knew you knew the problems, but wanted to demonstrate the colossal stupidity to anyone else who may not know the problems with the location.


Also, I'm still baffled why no one ever pushed expansion of the HC Metra line and building out the Summit stop and making Metra a second option to the Orange line. It's a fairly straight shot down Harlem.

But the HC only runs M-F, and only has 4 trains that leave Union station on those days, all in the afternoon and rush hour. Return trips only in the AM. Why no one approached Metra about running trains during Fire games, and branding special trains, makes no sense to me. It's much closer than Midway to the pitch, and there are fewer stops (it's the first stop on the frigging line, it would basically be an express train from Union Station).
