If the Fire ever leaves Toyota Park, Bridgeview is absolutely, utterly screwed. They will fight tooth and nail to keep the team.
It’s honestly not a bad location, it’s pretty centrally located for Chicago’s Mexican and Central American populations. I assume that was much of the rationale for the location. Unfortunately it does nothing for urbane, educated white soccer fans who mostly live on the North Side and north suburbs.
(Honestly I’d be lobbying for an Orange Line extension if I was Bridgeview’s mayor... It could be done on the cheap, with at-grade tracks along the north side of Clearing Yard.)
