Chicago architecture firm proposes renderings of new Bears stadium near current White Sox location
A well-known Chicago architecture firm is weighing in with a proposal to keep the Bears in the city, near a familiar location for sports fans on the South Side.
The Chicago White Sox recently announced that they would not renew the contract of John Schriffen, their lead TV play-by-play voice since 2024. This news has left many people in Chicago's sports radio community unhappy. Schriffen, who is 42 years old, took over the role from Jason Benetti, who left to become the voice of the Detroit Tigers.
Benetti was a renowned national voice, and Schriffen's replacement was seen as a daunting task. Before Schriffen came on board, he faced criticism, including an intense feud with Chicago radio host Matt Spiegel, who accused him of lacking baseball knowledge. When the news broke, Spiegel expressed his thoughts on his radio show, stating that while he believed Schriffen had improved, the White Sox could do much better.
Spiegel and others in the radio community have been vocal about their dissatisfaction with Schriffen's performance, with some even suggesting that he was dismissive, arrogant, and entitled. The White Sox have stated that they will begin looking for Schriffen's replacement right away.
