The best bet is city owned land downtown, if there is any, or to convince a land owner to lease it to them. Navy Pier, something around McCormick Place, or the Post Office are the best options that don't require some sort of eminent domain, won't create a lot of political resistance, and can quickly land on Lucas' lap to mull moving forward on.

True re: Political resistence but I think it would be less here than in SF, honestly. Navy Pier is already undergoing big renovations so I doubt it's going to put that in there.
I wish there was a way for all of those parking lots at State & Chicago to become city land LOL That would be an interesting site to put it at.
