Soldier Field Case Lost
RETURN
 On February 21st, the Supreme Court of Illinois issued a ruling against LPCI’s
and the Friends of the Parks’ appeal of the Soldier Field case. In a unanimous
opinion, the Supreme Court upheld the lower court’s decision that the project
does not violate the public trust and public benefit doctrines.
This decision supports the completion of the new Chicago Bears stadium within
Soldier Field, a National Historic Landmark. The
National Park Service is expected to rescind Soldier Field’s NHL designation when the new stadium project is completed in the
fall.
Our deep gratitude to all who contributed to this challenge.
