Former Illinois governor Pat Quinn launches drive to prevent renaming of Soldier Field – ABC7 (Chicago)

Quinn introduced yet another "citizens ordinance" to get an advisory referendum on the Feb. 28 ballot that would ask voters a loaded question: "Shall the people of Chicago protect the good name of Soldier Field - which is a war memorial dedicated to the memory of soldiers who fought for our American democracy - by prohibiting the mayor, City Council, Park District or any other governmental entity from attaching a corporate name to Soldier Field or selling the naming rights to Soldier Field in any way?"

While Soldier Field still has some life left I suggest Lightintheloafers repurpose it into the Taj Mahal of abortion mills. That would dove tail with how cheap life has become in Chicago. Another possible purpose would be to house illegal aliens.

For the long term prognosis Goole the Pontiac Silverdome.

I think Quinn should be more open minded on this issue. Think of the possibilities. Can’t you hear the play by play announcer now “Welcome to Preparation H field, home of the Chicago Fire!”.

What about welcome to Booster field where no how many you get you still catch Covid.
Or Never ending Mandate field.

Pat Quinn is the political equivalent of herpes — a shameful irritation that keep coming back over and over again

Well, one more reason we will see the Bears play in Arlington Heights. Because of course the McCaskeys or a future purchaser will think nothing of not having naming rights.
