you talked about comiskey park, which has become u.s. cellular -- >> guaranteed rate. exactly.n the early 1990's, we had a similar upscale boom where las vegas built casinos, pro sports stadiums became more luxury focused and started selling personal seat licenses. movie theaters started getting more expensive. coming out of the 2008 crisis it wasn't cool to spend money for a while but i think we have passed that. caroline: star wars galactic star cruiser. it is the new mgm grand, the new treasure island. conor sen. you have to read his stuff. draws attention to phenomenal things. romaine: this doesn't actually go to space? caroline: correct. one uses one's imagination. they would have given it to virgin galactic. romaine: wouldn't that make a good mash-up, disney and "star wars" with blue origin? caroline: that price tag will be a lot. tomorrow, we will be digging into students in the u.s. returning to the classroom. that does it for "what'd you miss" ♪ in business, it's never just another day. it's the big sale, or the big presentation. the day where everything goes right. or

the new comiskey park looked a lot like what they tried to sell. indeed, it opened the year before, so it's possible, given that it did take longer to build the baltimore one. anyway. but then they -- you know, they got it and they produced something quite wonderful. i think if that hadn't happened somewhere, something else would have happened because we were beginning to experience a huge resurgence of downtown living, downtown working, downtown entertainment, and so forth. it might not have happened in baltimore in 1992. it could have happened in another city, five years later, ten years later, but some other team would have said at some point, we don't want a concrete donut that looks like a freeway overpass. we want a real baseball park. and architects would have ultimately, i think responded. that's my -- we will never know 100% because what happened happened. >> right. because of customer pushback. customer didn't want to product. >> yes. and ultimately, in all of our architecture what clients want, matters. they serve their clients and do wh

i know that all drama over the lights, and when comiskey park closed, although a lot of blocked view or no view, that was traumatic for a lot of white sox fans, but how much their locations are so much into the neighborhood? >> completely. i think it's a lot of different historical circumstances that led those two great ballparks from the golden age to be retained. we almost lost fenway. the red sox, under the previous ownership, were working on plans to replace it, and then the team in the end was -- there is no certainty it would have happened, but they were serious about doing it, but then ultimately they sold the team. the subsequent ownership decided that was crazy and that they had a sort of -- a great asset that if they could only upgrade and modernize gently a little bit, which turned out to be exactly the case -- chicago -- yeah, it is beautifully integrated into the neighborhood, and it remains one of the most beloved places there is. on the other hand, so are other places that we were not lucky enough to keep. it's ironic that ebbets field in brooklyn was lost because it c

to me i think what they did was run to chicago and give that to the white sox, because the new comiskey parkooked a lot like what they tried to sell earlier, indeed it opened the year before, so it's possible, given it to take longer to build the baltimore one. anyway, but then they got it. they produced something quite wonderful. i think if that hadn't happened somewhere, something else would've happened, because we were beginning to experience a huge resurgence of downtown living. downtown working, downtown entertainment and so forth. it might not have happened in baltimore in 1992, it could've happened in another city five years later, ten years later, but some other team would have said at some point, we don't want a concrete donut that looks like a freeway overpass. we want a real baseball park. and architects would have ultimately, i think, responded. at least, that's my sense. we don't know 100 percent. what happened happened. >> well, it's the customer pushback -- the customer didn't want the product. >> ultimately in architecture what clients want matters. so one of the things the p
