US EditionCould the White Sox Build a New Stadium Next to the Fire at The 78? Don’t Count It Out.
- The Chicago Fire Football Club announced plans in 2025 to build a privately financed, 22,000-seat soccer stadium at The 78, a 62-acre South Loop site along the Chicago River.
- This development follows the Fire's move from suburban SeatGeek Stadium to Soldier Field and replaces the White Sox's earlier but stalled ballpark proposal at the same location.
- The open-air, natural grass stadium designed by Gensler will anchor The 78 neighborhood, a $7 billion mixed-use project featuring retail, housing, parks, and extensive public transit access.
- Owner Joe Mansueto, personally financing the $650 million stadium, said the project is transformative for both the club and Chicago, aiming to create a world-class home without public funding.
- Construction is expected to begin in late 2025 or early 2026 and finish before the 2028 MLS season, potentially catalyzing job creation, community engagement, and growth of the Fire's fan base.
