An artist's rendering shows a recommended plan for improving Chicago's museum campus around Soldier Field. Mayor Lori Lightfoot formed a task force earlier this year that recommends transforming the area which includes land around the Adler Planetarium, the Field Museum, the Shedd Aquarium and the McCormick Place lakefront building. It also recommends improving CTA service and adding a trolley and improving traffic around the area.
“To better utilize Soldier Field year-round, the City should also explore the feasibility of enclosing the stadium. From May to December, Soldier Field is a lively, highly utilized venue. During this time, the stadium is estimated to host anywhere from 96,000-240,000 people each month. However, the arena’s usage is much lower from January to April when the weather limits use of the stadium’s outdoor areas,” the panel said.
The report stops short of recommending the roof, though, saying “further analysis is required to fully understand the specific costs, the potential direct and indirect economic impacts, and the full range of potential funding sources available to determine options that are respectful to Chicago taxpayers.”
Lori with another garbage idea.
Should the city invest in a losing franchise?
Get with it. It’s Wintrust Pitch. Fire “FC” sold Soldier Field’s naming rights last March.
It's over ..the bears are gone to Arlington heights...their own stadium..hotel .bars , restaurants...$$$ don't have to listen to the park district crap and Chicago politicians...
The stadium isnt suppose to make money, its a public park for the people. Make it a public space.
Wonder how much this panel cost us? What worthless money spent by chicagosmayor. What’s new
Now she's gonna screwup Soldier Field. Ugh.
It's harder to shoot bullets onto the field with a dome
All optics by the mayor. They are very likely gone. It’s the McCaskeys after all.
No ; the name Soldiers Field, old school, represents veterans of all nationalities, ages, men and women, no matter their contribution. It stays.
The panel’s work marks the mayor's attempt to keep the Chicago Bears, who are exploring a possible move to Arlington Heights, and deflect blame if the venerable sports team leaves.
Great idea. Let's rename Soldier Field and make Chicago an even bigger target for every right wing mouthpiece and veterans' group in the country. Brilliant.
Nah no more big decisions for this mayor. Let’s clean this place up first then we can make some moves.
Lmao
If it doesn't bring in a superbowl, get rid of it.
The leading name contender is 'Transgender Field'. That is most likely going to be the new name.
Lol 👍👍
