I don't have anything against a proposal in LC..... Never mind, I do have something against it. Based off the renderings I have seen, BLEH.
It just doesn't get me excited. It looks like they half-assed a proposal knowing it won't go anywhere since LC requires so much investment. Like... they threw some lighting and white paint on the ceiling with a Rivers logo on the glass wall. The outside rendering shows nothing aside from retrofitting the existing building with a slab of paint, glass, and some lighting. There's absolutely nothing that draws me into that proposal. I get that LC should be leveraged for something grand, but a Rivers Casino? Really?
TBH though, the the Tribune Ballys site isn't far from the LC proposal for me. That's another one that just doesn't get me excited. It's not the best location to me, and it feels squeezed. I put it slightly above LC, but still below Hard Rock.
For me, 78 is my top favorite, followed by Bally's McCormick proposal.
