Comisky Park Arterial Under Construction
The White Sox are awaiting the impact of a major reconstruction project on the Dan Ryan Expressway section of Interstate 94, the key arterial accessing Comisky Park. The project has closed down all of the express lanes, leaving only six of the 14 lanes open. Authorities warn that the Ryan should be avoided for many weeks to come. Declining ticket sales, concessions and other lost revenue sources could impact the team's earnings and potential capital outlay if fans stay away. For further information go to www.avoidtheryan.com.
