The Chicago Fire is one step closer to having its headquarters inside the city. Yesterday, by a 37-11 vote the Chicago City Council approved the use of 24 acres of land on the CHA property at Roosevelt Square.
The revised plan, which was voted down by the Zoning Committee on Tuesday and then approved the next morning, includes a two to three-story office space and performance center. It will also have 5 and a half fields— two grass and three turf fields for training and academy use; one of which will be dome capable for the winter— plus a half field for goalkeeper use.
