Looks like Lincoln Yards might be going back to soccer. Instead of a stadium, there will be a state-of-the-art soccer training facility. The Fire have been actively searching for a place to build a training pitch in the city for some time now. |
I remember when LY was first proposed and part of the proposal was for a minor league soccer team to play there. That definitely freaked out the Fire, who in a matter of years bailed on Bridgeview, moved back to the city, and now are laying their footprint here. Smart move on their part. Although massive boneheaded move leaving for the suburbs to begin with.
Glad it seems a new stadium is no longer in the cards. Traffic to/from this part of town is already a nightmare. Maybe doable once the transit plans are in place. Is the music venue(s) still planned? Honestly, hope those don't go through either. We have plenty of old movie palaces that can easily fill that role.
