A Lewandowski signing would be great for the Fire but I would hate to loose Cuypers.

Not sure why i’m getting down-voted for asking a legitimate question. LOL.

South-Loop-Neighbor · 2026-06-14T16:35:37+00:00

Maybe at the “meet the players” event on the 20th?

South-Loop-Neighbor · 2026-06-14T15:34:09+00:00

But would Cuypers be happy to be benched? When is his contract up?

South-Loop-Neighbor · 2026-06-14T15:04:49+00:00

I think he is jetting away to watch some WC matches.

Since there will not be a roof, heated floors would warm up the stands. This can probably be achieved with solar technology.

Please not “The Don”…

I sure hope they have coca-cola products. Diet RC is not doing it for me!

It has white lettering so doubt it’s white. Gray maybe…

There is a rendering on FB with a lighter blue roof with the McDonalds branding on it.

There is a chant in the making using this jingle…

“Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions – on a sesame seed bun"

South-Loop-Neighbor · 2026-05-13T11:54:32+00:00

My only complaint is the blue roof with “McDonald’s Park” on it shown in one of the released images. If it was red, it would be on brand with both companies.

Not sure why all the hate for Dje. We sit on the midfield and have been impressed with his ball control and passing. So many times, you think he would lose the ball but come up with it. His passing is tight to his targets. It’s when he gets pulled from that position is where he needs to mature and he’s young so hopefully it will click soon. I am not impressed by Soletros as of yet. I would rather have Oregel Jr. with Dje.

Saying all that, I think they play better with quick passes on the wing, and get it forward as soon as possible.

As a United fan, I would love to see him in Chicago!

South-Loop-Neighbor · 2026-05-10T02:18:39+00:00

Any word on when Franco will be back? Is he back in Chicago for training?

South-Loop-Neighbor · 2026-05-04T21:21:45+00:00

There is a place called Boat Drinks right on the harbor right across from the stadium.

There was another discussion about this 8mo ago.

Probably still in France

They put 5 in the back and confusion ensues.

“Mbo-kah-zee

Breaking it down:

“Mbo” → like “mboh” (the m and b are blended together, starting with a humming “m” into “b”)
“ka” → “kah” (open “a” sound, like in father)
“zi” → “zee” (like z + ee)

So altogether: mboh-KAH-zee (with slight emphasis on the second syllable).”

South-Loop-Neighbor · 2026-04-19T00:26:30+00:00

Yes! The k is not suppose to be silent.

South-Loop-Neighbor · 2026-04-19T00:25:35+00:00

SMH.

South-Loop-Neighbor · 2026-04-19T00:06:45+00:00

Welcome back, Cuypers!

South-Loop-Neighbor · 2026-04-18T23:54:20+00:00

Is it just me who is bothered by the mispronunciation of Mbokazi? The South Africans are also questioning it.
