I am sure ownership or prospective owners are figuring things out as popularity grows.

They just restructured the whole team last year, and the year before, with new (cheapish) designated players and each year have been at the bottom of the charts. Ownership doesn't seem to want to invest in quality play. They do have some good players now but not enough. The new coach and manager are taking things in the right direction though, so I do remain somewhat optimistic. They'll never truly be a 'Chicago' team until they are actually in the city with easy access to public transit. The 62-acre Related-owned site would be a good location for an urban stadium.
