    It is also important to remember it was "building a soccer stadium" with a stage for a client AEG that was the second biggest concert promoters in the nation.

    The failure of Bridgeview was the lack of revenue from concerts and
    the lack of revenue from the Fire, since Hauptman bought the team a year later and sent us on 14 year spiral of suck.

    The Village gambled and lost big time.

    We also have to remember the economic collapse in 2008/2009. That stunted the growth of the stadium in part because the ownership of the Fire wasn’t willing and/or able to swoop in and take advantage of the collapse to build up the area.

    It was all a big ********ing mess exacerbated by cheap ownership.

    I should have mentioned that. Good point.

    I was just previewing my discussion on the economic collapse, at least as it relates to mortgages and mortgage foreclosures, to my Real Estate Law students this evening. The actual discussion will be later in the course when we discuss mortgages and foreclosures.
