Look at any MLB ballparks, and I think you would be hard-pressed to find any footprint that extends less than 500ft. Even the SF Giants' extremely short right field porch is more than 530 feet from the home plate entry gate to the foul pole.

The renderings show that Wells St. is reconfigured so that it curves to run along the river at the perimeter of the ballpark to allow for enough space. It will be an additional expense of course, but if that means landing the White Sox I'm sure Related will have no problem making those changes.
