Very cool to have plaza telescopes pointed toward the copper mine. But wouldn't it be appropriate to also have one pointed 90 blocks north up State St toward the capitol dome?

So, what happened to XANGO? Does this supersede the XANGO sponsorship or is it in addition?
Answer | 2:02 p.m. Sept. 30, 2008
Answer for Kageysea: This doesn't do anything to the Xango deal. Xango sponsors the jerseys and Rio Tinto sponsors the stadium. Kind of like the Chicago Fire: Their jersey sponsor is Best Buy and they play at Toyota Park.
