Chicago White Sox stadium proposal at The Railyards

Overview

Justin Ishbia, the prospective owner of the Chicago White Sox, has unveiled plans for a new riverfront stadium as part of a 48-acre mixed-use development known as ‘The Railyards’. Located on Amtrak’s 14th Street Coach Yard in Chicago’s South Loop, the project would span from Roosevelt Road to 18th Street.

The proposed ballpark is designed with a vintage aesthetic, featuring brickwork and arches reminiscent of the historic Comiskey Park, with a right-field section situated directly alongside the Chicago River. Beyond the stadium, the development is intended to serve as an entertainment and commercial district including housing, retail, restaurants, and a new facility for Northwestern Medicine.

Implementing the project would require the relocation of Amtrak’s current maintenance operations. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has expressed optimism regarding the proposal, citing its potential to serve as an economic driver for the city.
