Fire president Ishwara Glassman Chrein understands the need to keep Soldier Field busy to generate needed revenue for important programs. Events such as Bears games and major concerts bring in big money for the city and can help fund municipal initiatives.

Meanwhile, she said the Fire have spent a lot of time talking to the city and Soldier Field management about the grass and other issues such as scheduling, financials and general fan-experience issues. Due to the expected field conditions caused by Soldier Field’s hectic schedule, Sunday’s game against New York City FC switched to SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview.
