State Senator Bill Cunningham sits as the point person when it comes to stadium-related legislation and sits on the committee that approves appointments to the Illinois Sports Facility Authority which owns Rate Field. He gives us straight answers on the White Sox lease ending in 2029 and anything can be done to entice the team to stay in Bridgeport. Coming out of this conversation, though, it seems clear the White Sox are likely moving to the south loop, Amtrak is likely moving to Bridgeport and one is not dependent on the other.
