Still, the 2nd Ward is arguably the most powerful and influential. It covers the largest geographic area while home to civic and cultural institutions like City Hall, Harvey Park District headquarters, the Center for Islamic Teaching and Community Development, and the Harvey Public Library District.

We put Northwestern's new $870 million Ryan Field to the test

Northwestern spent $870 million building a football stadium with luxury amenities, gourmet food, spectacular views and a design intended to keep the noise inside. But does it all live up to the hype? The big picture: We headed to Evanston Saturday night for the Wildcats' game against Iowa to put the new Ryan Field through a stress test. The verdict: Pretty tremendous. The stadium is a winner, even without a luxury ticket. But the high-tech concessions and neighborhood noise controls still have some kinks to work out. What they're saying: Pat Ryan Jr., CEO of Ryan Sports Development, compares opening the stadium to watching a dog learn to swim — lots of splashing before finding its rhythm. "We're not at cruising speed yet, but we're not splashing around as much," Ryan says. The view from the endzone while the Wildcats warm up before the game. Photo: Justin Kaufmann/Axios 🏈 The view Northwestern has gone to great lengths to ensure fans sitting in the upper deck have an experience comparable to those in the luxurious "Living Room" section at the 50-yard line. Zoom in: Entering Ryan Field was a fairly standard experience, but once inside, you're immediately greeted with a view

Good Tuesday morning, Illinois. The election is over. The politics, not so much. TOP TALKER BEARS BEAT : The Chicago Bears are heading back to the negotiating table in Springfield, and lawmakers say they want to get a stadium deal done before the end of the year — even as the battle to replace House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch begins to take shape. Agenda item: The Bears legislation is expected to be a major focus when lawmakers return to Springfield for veto session next week. The challenge will be finding a compromise that keeps the team in Illinois without putting taxpayers on the hook, while navigating competing interests between Chicago and the suburbs. State Sen. Bill Cunningham , the Democrat who has been central to the stadium negotiations, said discussions during the legislative break have increasingly centered on a stadium-authority model that would allow a municipality to build a privately financed, publicly owned stadium. “There seems to be a settling on this , trying to move forward with the stadium authority model,” Cunningham said during a legislative briefing with your Playbook host, and presented by Lincoln Forum and the Union League Club of Chicago State and Local Government Subcommittee.
