Mount Prospect Narrows Field to Four Builders for Vacant Chase Bank Tower

Mount Prospect is interviewing four development groups that submitted plans to redevelop the vacant former Chase Bank building at 111 E. Busse Ave., with one team already in front of the Village Board and three more scheduled in the week ahead.

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

Illinois news in brief: Northwestern antisemitism coalition calls out exclusion of Wildcats for Israel; Pritzker pauses public events; Chicago report touts taxpayer-funded youth impact

Northwestern antisemitism coalition calls out exclusion of Wildcats for Israel The Coalition Against Antisemitism at Northwestern University says the school has launched a formal investigation after a discrimination complaint against Spoon University's Northwestern chapter. Spoon canceled its Cultural Food Fest last week due to backlash from three groups over the inclusion of Wildcats for Israel, a student-led organization dedicated to educating the Northwestern community about Israel. The coalition noted that Northwestern's November 28, 2025 federal resolution agreement followed the federal government's freeze of more than $1 billion in university research funding amid investigations into antisemitism and other compliance concerns. “It is chilling that in 2026, at my own alma mater, we are witnessing Jewish and Israeli students being singled out and excluded from a celebration of cultural diversity,” said Northwestern alumna Wendy Sachs in a statement. Pritzker pauses public events Gov. J.B. Pritzker has paused public events due to an outpatient urology procedure scheduled on Monday. Matt Hill, the governor’s deputy chief of staff for communications, said this is the standard and final follow-up to the same procedure he completed in May 2026. Later that month, the governor said he went to a Springfield hospital after he felt something that
