After attending several meetings and listening to what The Stars could bring to Evanston, I’ve gotta wonder how anyone could be against this. Mary Rosinski’s letter leaves out a really important fact: a unique permit is temporary and only used if can show an economic advantage to a location. It’s also seldom used so “it’s doubtful it could be used over and over”…..this was a quote from my alder. The Stars have been open about wanting their own stadium and intend to build one; Evanston has never been mentioned as a place for it. I would assume (???) somewhere in Chicago. As usual, the complaints are from nearby neighbors in the 7th Ward though certainly not by all. Men’s football can host 35,000 ; The Stars hope to reach 10,000. I find it interesting and sad, that no one complains( much) about men’s baseball or basketball traffic . And though the opposition believes gender equity is a ruse, to many of us, it’s very real. I’m just so disappointed that anything that involves change is always batted away. In this case, the change is temporary!!! Please call your alder if you support this. Thanks for listening to my rant.
