I would think the north side of the parcel would be far preferable to the southern end of the 78 to locate a stadium. Would such a scenario scuttle the deal with the Fire? Perhaps, but a 2 billion dollar baseball park with 81 games would be a better catch for Related than a $600 million soccer pitch. .

The White Sox stadium doesn't actually fit at the North end of the parcel. At least not very well. So very little chance of the Chicago Fire being forced out. But if the White Sox want some input about the location of other structures besides the stadium, well it's last call.
The Fire stadium is probably similar in scope to the casino proposition. So not tremendous overlap with the White Sox.
