Definitely a large and growing market for soccer.

MLS teams only play 34 games a year. MLB has 162, NBA and NHL have 82, and the NFL has 16. This stadium will need lots of alternative programming to make it profitable to build. Chicago Red Stars, the local women's soccer team, would be an option. Maybe they are angling for an eventual second MLS team in Chicago as LA and NYC each have two.
