I like the State/Pershing site, actually. It's close to a Green Line stop at Indiana and several bus lines, so workers will have easy transit access from the South or West Sides. It's close enough to Guaranteed Rate to maybe use their parking facilities, and it could potentially tie into the abandoned Kenwood rail line as an elevated trail like the 606.
Of course, i'd prefer a site that was actually ON the Guaranteed Rate parking lots. I don't know why that was ruled out... lots of potential synergies between the White Sox and a casino operator to create an entertainment district that the Sox currently lack.
