Quinn's proposed ballot referendum would ask voters in November,"Shall the people of Chicago protect the good name of Soldier Field – which is a war memorial dedicated to the memory of soldiers who fought for our American democracy – by prohibiting the Mayor, City Council, Park District, or any other governmental entity from attaching a corporate name to Soldier Field or selling the naming rights to Soldier Field in any...
"The name of Soldier Field should be Soldier Field forever," Quinn said in a statement."The people of Chicago do not want corporate names attached to their war memorials." His bid to protect Soldier Field's name comes a day after Lightfoot unveiled three proposals for renovating the stadium, including a proposal to cover the arena with a dome.
Another plan would make Soldier Field dome-ready, adding columns to both end zones, without actually building a roof. A third option would make Soldier Field better suited for soccer and other events like concerts, should the Bears opt to build a new stadium in the suburbs.
