    Everyone in the description it clearly states that there will still be parking. Also the United center is in a relatively safe area that has ample connections to public transit with the new infill stops along the pink and green lines. A development like this would be monumental to the west side as it would push the momentum of Fulton Market and make the west side maybe even the new northside if they fill in vacant lots and fix crime. This could be a total gamechanger. The west side has 3 cta lines running through it so a development like this could spark huge investment in areas like garfield park and even fill up patches left from urban renewal.

    the UC is 30 years old already and will need to be replaced in about 20 years; where will that be built if there are no spaces? What, play in Rosemont for 3 years while the old place gets demolished and rebuilt? This is horrible for the fans.

    Did Reinsdorf have an aneurism and approve this? I thought Mr.Parking lot fees would never allow this? LOL. 90 Years old and his legacy will forever be destroying the west and south side with his ocean-sprawling parking lots.
  • My only concern with this project is that it will displace working class west siders who live in the Near West Side and West Garfield Park. Are there any mitigations in place to stop displacement? Also, they can just build underground parking lots. Be easy suburbanites.

    Where are the parking lots? If you expect me to take a rideshare or public transportation....you need to guarantee safety first
