In the early afternoon, a 2018 Toyota Camry hybrid is driving south on the highway north of Chicago, IL, following a caravan of moving trucks. Two men are in the car, and the passenger is speaking to someone on the phone.
Joel Sherman: What am I looking at?
Kate Coolman, on speakerphone in the car: It's the new stadium in Nashville. It has to be. And they must be partnering with Gibson, probably for naming rights,
Joel: I dunno... are you sure?
Kate: I'm positive.
Danny, the driver: Oh! Oh! Let me see!
Joel shows the photo displayed on his mobile phone to Danny.
Joel: Doesn't it look like...?
Danny: Yeah it looks like the park in Plymouth. I mean it's a little off, but...
Kate: What?
Joel, back: It looks like Plymouth.
Kate: I honestly don't see the resemblance.
Danny: Oh, shit, they're getting off the highway!
Kate: Where are you guys?
Joel: Chicago.
Danny: Where in Evanston you fuckwit. This is NOT Chicago.
Joel: Soooooorry.
Kate: Which team did you follow?
Joel: We've been following the affiliate from Wisconsin Rapids. Why are we even doing this assignment? Couldn't we just wait to find out from the press release?
Kate: Because fans want information right away. And since there's no such thing as public record anymore, this is the only way to do it. It will be a huge boost for the page.
Joel: We write for the league though.
Danny: Could we get fired for this?
Kate: I frankly don't care.
Joel: They're pulling into a parking lot. This might be it. Something is under construction here, there's privacy fencing hundreds of feet high all the way around. I can't see anything.
Danny: It could be a baseball stadium.
Kate: Ok you guys see if you can find a way in and get any info.
Joel: I'll be right back.
Joel returns 5 minutes later.
Joel: This is it.
Kate: How did you get in and out so fast?
Joel: I asked the truck driver. The team is going to be the Evanston Elitists.
Danny: Oh man, that will really piss off Rovell.
Joel: Good. Well there ya go Kate, can we go home now?
Kate: You guys don't want to do more?
Danny: I'm reading "McNary to announce full relocation plans November 20th, 2027" on BSA Trade Rumors.
Kate: Shit.
Joel: It's for the best Kate.
