I know he wasn't on the court or on the field but he's the one who opened the purse strings. </p> http://chicagoist.com/2008/04/07/opening_day_fla_1.php#comment-1331743 http://chicagoist.com/2008/04/07/opening_day_fla_1.php#comment-1331743 Comments Mon, 07 Apr 2008 14:18:58 -0600 <p>mike_thoms -- I couldn't agree more. I grew up in Bridgeport, and I remember walking to Comiskey for games with my father. And, Reinsdorf isn't just an ass. He's the ass ON an ass. </p> http://chicagoist.com/2008/04/07/opening_day_fla_1.php#comment-1331659 http://chicagoist.com/2008/04/07/opening_day_fla_1.php#comment-1331659 Comments Mon, 07 Apr 2008 13:32:13 -0600 <p>What a great stadium that was. It's really too bad that they couldn't find a way to keep it open all those years ago. I love the outfield upper deck, the front sort of reminds me of Yankee Stadium, it definitely has the feel, more so than Wrigley, of the really old stadiums like the Polo Grounds. It's too bad Reinsdorf held the city hostage and threatened to move to Florida if he didn't get a new stadium. Ass. </p>
