Soldier Field and the Hopes of Chicago

Liam T.A. Ford, Chicago Tribune reporter

The cultural significance of Chicago?s lakefront stadium goes well beyond the design of the original arena. Soldier Field and its place in Chicago history show how Chicagoans?and their less-than-reform-minded politicians?adopted the City Beautiful spirit of the Burnham Plan. Ford, who led the Chicago Tribune?s reporting on Soldier Field?s remaking, discusses the stadium?s complex history.

A book signing will follow.
