  - Everybody still calls it Congress Parkway* - Herman Blume June 3, 2025, 14:27:28
Curious what you do with Soldier Field.... - ijustkrushalot June 3, 2025, 9:13:05

- Maybe they should check in with the Commanders on what to do with Soldier - Sounder June 3, 2025, 11:15:09

  - Fire stadium will be too small for major stadium concerts.* - Illiniphil June 3, 2025, 10:27:39
  - The Fire stadium is not nearly big enough to be a replacement for stadium tour concerts. - OB25 June 3, 2025, 10:25:54
    - Arlington Heights will be a 365 stadium. Domed. You'll get mega acts* - DanSaint June 3, 2025, 10:39:19

        That’ll show ‘em* - Herman Blume June 3, 2025, 14:28:13
        
        They wouldn't let him in without shoes, anyhow.* - Illiniphil June 3, 2025, 14:44:48
      - I get that, but I’m talking about the actual city of Chicago would want. - OB25 June 3, 2025, 10:50:31
    - I guess the mega concerts can go to Arlington Heights.* - gullit June 3, 2025, 10:32:56
- what a cluster that thing is. would love to see it dismantled, but who is gonna pay for that?* - cpsteine June 3, 2025, 9:56:04
  - Think of the soldiers* - Sounder June 3, 2025, 9:58:28
    - the colonnades and original building should be preserved, but again, cost.* - cpsteine June 3, 2025, 12:09:42
  - Should it just go the way of Candlestick? There's historic preservation issues with Soldier, right* - haighter June 3, 2025, 9:57:45
    - I thought they lost some of their designations when they did the re-model* - AintHatin June 3, 2025, 10:10:19
      - National Register withdrawn in 2006. - ATL June 3, 2025, 10:15:02
        
        But I believe the colonnades are still protected, no?* - Herman Blume June 3, 2025, 10:16:44
That's awesome, hopefully they can connect it to the Loop pretty well - reggiedunlop June 3, 2025, 8:48:24
Great news perfect for that piece of land.* - gullit June 3, 2025, 6:39:38
- Can we just transport the stadium from Bridgeview and haul it right up 55?* - KingTalkyTiki June 3, 2025, 13:38:13
  - As long as you leave the bubble just north* - ISeeDeadHawkeyes June 3, 2025, 13:45:41
- great location.* - VIV June 3, 2025, 8:45:20
- Isn't that the rumored white Sox land? - DanSaint June 3, 2025, 6:59:10
  - It is and it is large enough - IlliniJuice07 June 3, 2025, 9:04:43
    - The Bears should've looked there years ago instead of building that monstrosity they currently have* - bjl63 June 3, 2025, 9:23:07
    - that was the lot I always hoped the Bears would move to* - VIV June 3, 2025, 9:17:25
    - they already have a fuckton of land - IlliniSax05 June 3, 2025, 9:07:28
    - Is it big enough to support two stadiums?* - ISeeDeadHawkeyes June 3, 2025, 9:07:11
      - I mean, the Sox stadium only needs to hold like 12K people on a good day.* - Illiniphil June 3, 2025, 14:46:03
      - Definitely large enough for the Fire and another stadium. Two full stadiums, like White Sox - IlliniJuice07 June 3, 2025, 9:12:05
        
        It'll be a tight fit with 2 stadiums IMO. Plus the supposed development and any surface parking. - Warrin'_Illini June 3, 2025, 9:24:05
        
        Just make it accessible from public transportation and you don't need much parking. - longsnapper June 3, 2025, 9:50:42
        
        meh, if you want tailgating go to Arlington * - ijustkrushalot June 3, 2025, 9:30:51
        
        True, but I was thinking of the White Sox as well. They have plenty of room at 35th and Shields. - Warrin'_Illini June 3, 2025, 9:40:44
        
        right, if what the Sox needed was easy parking and road access, they're set - ijustkrushalot June 3, 2025, 16:25:32
        
        Yes, big enough to support a white sox stadium and a fire stadium - ISeeDeadHawkeyes June 3, 2025, 9:19:45
        
        I assume you wouldn't schedule 2 events the same day, but that happens elsewhere and isn't a big dea - ijustkrushalot June 3, 2025, 9:14:01
        
        The sounders and Mariners play next to one another - Sounder June 3, 2025, 9:50:05
        
        and from at least one reddit thread it doesn't seem like it works great - IlliniSax05 June 3, 2025, 11:14:16
  - White Sox are going to Nashville.* - gullit June 3, 2025, 7:10:04
