If getting pummeled 13-1 by the Tigers wasn’t provocation enough, the angst over the White Sox’s future has only grown exponentially.
The Chicago Fire announced plans to build a new soccer stadium on the South Loop’s land plot known as The 78, which is where the Sox also considered migrating (to the degree of laying down a diamond, complete with grass infield). Contingent on city approval, the Fire are expected to settle into their new home by Spring 2028.
Why might the Fire succeed where others have failed? The start and end of it is that Fire owner Joe Mansueto pledges not to take a dime of public money in building his stadium.
