Last Wednesday it was reported that plans to build a new arena at Chicago’s McCormick Place, which will be home to the DePaul men’s basketball program as well as other city events, were approved unanimously by the Chicago City Council (http://www.chicagoreader.com/Bleader/archives/2013/08/01/meigs-field-iithe-city-council-very-quietly-passes-mayor-rahms-depaul-basketball-arena-deal).
But that isn’t the case, according to the Chicago Tribune (http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-07-28/business/ct-biz-0728-mcpier-properties-20130728_1_depaul-arena-south-loop-depaul-university), which reported on July 28 that “city and McCormick Place officials will have to pry land from three prominent corporate entities with ties to the university, City Hall and Springfield” in order to begin the project.
