That photo also captures a brief time when LSD had been rerouted, but before Soldier Field work had really gotten underway. All those lakefront parking lots are depressing, we really have vastly improved that area. There are still a few parking lots, but they're very well-screened from the lakefront and don't look like a giant scar on the landscape from ground level POV.

It's not possible. None of the original seating bowl remains except a few rows along the south curve (and these are blocked from view of the field). You can demolish the upper deck, but the remaining seating bowl will still be the weird lozenge shape that is typical for NFL. Which is ironic if it ends up as a soccer-only stadium, plus concerts etc.
