While the Chicago Bears continue to discuss moving out of Soldier Field, the Chicago Fire are preparing to break ground on a new stadium.
Mayor Brandon Johnson, Fire Owner Joe Mansueto and Coach Gregg Berhalter are among those slated to be at The 78 in the South Loop for the ceremonial groundbreaking Tuesday afternoon.
The billionaire founder of Morningstar is privately financing the $750m stadium that will hold 22,000 seats under an open dome when it hosts games in two years.
The football club has opened a marketing center with a model of the stadium and a replica of a private suite inside the Wrigley Building.
Mansueto bought that skyscraper in 2018.
