A plaza is only successful if you have enough people using it everyday (when the weather warrants it) and the feeling of vibrancy is there. I'd consider Daley Plaza in the middle - it isn't non successful, but it's not really a great plaza. If I want a great plaza in the city, I go to Mariano Park or Connors Park, both in the Gold Coast. Daley Plaza is "meh" compared to them, basically because it lacks the vibrancy that these two other places have on a normal day.
