The Fire played on a field meant for soccer. Their performance showed they’re probably not meant for the playoffs.

During their 2-0 loss to New York City FC on Sunday, the Fire struggled to do much against a team that lost at home Wednesday and entered on a four-game winless streak. The game, which was moved to SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview because of expected playing conditions at Soldier Field, was reminiscent of old times at the suburban venue when the Fire would come up short in crucial situations.
