Chicago Fire, City Officials Talk West Side Training Facility
The Chicago Fire Football Club has begun preliminary discussions on a proposed new performance and training facility for Chicago’s Major League Soccer team in the Roosevelt Square area on the Near West Side. The discussions will explore using approximately 30 acres of vacant Chicago Housing Authority land as a headquarters and training center for the Fire.
“The Chicago Fire, which is one of our city’s greatest sports teams, deserves to have a high-quality training facility that not only meets their needs but fosters the growth of talented athletes,” said Mayor Lori Lightfoot. “This potential new facility will not only fulfill this need, but also provide the surrounding West Side community with job, recreational and other incredible opportunities in the future.”
As part of a long-term lease agreement, the Fire would develop the multi-million-dollar facility and provide a variety of community benefits and public investments.
