Benefits:
- direct access to LSD, reducing traffic impact to local roads
- location is ideal in proximity to McCormick Place and the tourist attractions of the Museum Campus/Soldier Field, not right downtown but close
- direct train access from Millennium Park/the dedicated bus lane to McCormick place could be used for casino shuttles
- large enough site to have the 200-300k sqft single gaming floor that is desired
Drawbacks:
- residents will throw a fit (applicable to any location with residential in proximity) |
This thing was a long shot before covid.
No is going build a casino because maybe a decade from now there will be a development over there.
