That kinda sucks out the oxygen to do another such district around the Sox, Bears or Fire stadiums. These districts tend to have a certain vibe (bro-ish, formulaic/fake) and they're not for everyone.
Personally I don't have a problem with the Soldier Field idea of a stadium in a park. That's a perfectly fine way for a stadium to exist in a city, we don't need to cram mixed-use everywhere.

Specifically I think this is a problem for an NFL stadium because they have so very few events per year. Easier to do with baseball and definitely doable with an NBA arena.
