Are we going to see a wrapped car like we did for the Sox 2005 pennant? And will it be pink line if so?

Up until I heard they were doing an actual parade, my hopes were set on them putting the Stanley Cup on that flatcar they use for the Santa train (sans Santa and his decorations) and parading it around the loop a few times between a couple Pink Line 2600s. Of course, it might help if there was actually a station at the UC.

Come to think of it, now that both the Bulls and the Hawks are big draws at the United Center, maybe it's time to start thinking about putting a station there?

Makes sense to me. Which means it'll never happen...

How about using this event as an opportunity to showcase a new 5000 car?

Hope you don't have to wait for another Hawks or Bulls championship to put in the station!
