, Jerry Reinsdorf, the owner and chairman of the club, would consider moving the White Sox out of Guaranteed Rate Field when their lease expires in six years.
That relocation could be as simple as building a new stadium elsewhere in the city, or could involve moving to Chicago’s suburbs or even to Nashville,The White Sox told the publication that they have not yet had conversations with relevant authorities on their stadium situation, and pointed NBC Chicago to their statement in Crain’s when asked for comment on the story.
