As for the thread. Bad idea. Keep Soccer and Football in separate fields. Each Team and Sport should have its own identity with a field to call home.
this.
I may scoff at American Football, but by and large I respect the athletes and the kinesthetic sense that it takes to make your body perform. I played proper football through college and was not good enough to do well there--so I can't even imagine the amount of athletic ability (nevermind the talent discussion) required to do ANY sport at the professional level.
While I don't know/don't care what Soldier Field was originally intended for, it is a wonderful venue for football of both kinds. Watching some of the teams that have played there (Fire/AC Milan/Real Madrid/Barca/Chivas/etc) was great and I wish it could have continued. While I'm not 100% happy with Toyota Park itself or it's location, it is home and we need to act accordingly--that includes keeping other sports out. I don't mind the concerts so much....well, maybe Buffet....hate that damn show....those fucking stinky hippies ALWAYS fuck up the field even though it's covered.....how do they manage that?
1 field for 1 team=happiness.
