What's up, everyone?

Welcome back to the Charter podcast brought to you by St. Xavier University.

Ruthie Polinsky, Clay Harbor, Alex Shapiro, back with you.

And we have a busy week ahead of us.

We are taping this on Tuesday morning before the three of us head out to mandatory mini-camp,

which we are going to fully dive into sort of a precursor, we'll set the stage, things we're looking for as we get ready to spend a couple of days out at Hallis Hall.

But before we get into mandatory mini-camp, let's talk a little bit about some of the recent news, starting

with the news of the day is that the Chicago fire will be building a new stadium in the city

of Chicago on the 78, at the 78, on the 78.

I think both work.

Okay. Completely privately funded.

And the White Sox dreams of having a new stadium on that same location, you can kiss those

goodbye.

So guys, your reaction, I think there are some little details here we can get into a bit,

but I think it's a great thing for soccer. It's a great thing for the city of Chicago.

If they can get this thing up and running and cooking, it's a great location and I think would really help fire the fire fans and just soccer fans in general.

Yeah, I think it's really cool. The 78 has just been this vacant lot for many, many, many years.

There have been many attempts to develop something there. Not a lot has worked out.

So hopefully this does work out.

According to CHSN newsletter writer Gordon Edis, they are going to spend that entire $650 million to build a stadium.

That's going to be out of their own money.

They are going to ask for a little bit of public money to get the land ready for a stadium to be built. So there will be some public money involved, but it's not like this large public investment that maybe the White Sox were looking for to build a White Sox stadium there.
