An education on private concessions

NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace poses for a photo in front of Soldier Field on July 19. Three years of NASCAR races along the lake in downtown Chicago are scheduled starting in 2023. It will be the first street course race in NASCAR’s 75-year history. (Ashlee Rezin/Sun-Times)

Thanks to Ed Bachrach and Austin Berg for their op-ed enlightening me about concessions and explaining why the city must reform how it manages private use of public property.

Setting aside the supposed financial benefit, relatively few people will enjoy the upcoming NASCAR races, while most neighbors and others navigating our streets will suffer.
