The Chicago White Sox have been the subject of many rumors lately. On one hand, the team has several players who are the subject of trade rumors. On the other hand, talks of a proposed new stadium have also piqued interest.

The new stadium concept revolves around a plot of land referred to as "The 78." This land is in the South Loop ,and is one of the largest areas of undeveloped land in the city. While we are a long way from any of this being official, it's an exciting concept to think about.

Many have wondered how this new stadium would be financed and how it could impact the team's ability to sport a competitive roster. Well, today, I want to identify a few reasons why I believe this new stadium could be the best thing to happen to the White Sox.

New White Sox stadium could attract free agents

The White Sox have always struggled to attract top free agents. Whether it be the team's reluctance to spend or just general disinterest, the White Sox have often failed to be players for the top names.

A new, state-of-the-art complex could change that. When you play in the same city as Wrigley Field, you need to have something unique about your stadium. The renderings of a potential new South Loop stadium showcase an entire entertainment district, as well as incredible views of downtown Chicago. This stadium would give players an extra reason to sign with the Sox and would also showcase a desire for the franchise to improve and compete with the league's bigger clubs.
