Official: Soldier Field Will Host The 2017 MLS All-Star Game
The rumors circulating last week were true. Major League Soccer summer camp is coming to Chicago.
At a press conference held within the hour, league commissioner Don Garber, along with Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel, Fire owner Andrew Hauptman, former head coach Frank Klopas, and former player Brian McBride, announced that the 2017 MLS All-Star Game will be held at Soldier Field on August 2nd. The game will be presented by mega-retail chain Target, who were also unveiled as a new corporate partner.
Speaking to reporters just a little while ago, Garber said that the game is “not an exhibition” and that the upcoming All-Star Game was the latest chapter in a long tradition of soccer in Chicago.
