As a retired physician, I worry what will happen if Evanston approves Northwestern University’s plan for concerts and mega-events at a rebuilt Ryan Field stadium. Specifically, I worry about the impact on Northshore University Health System’s Evanston Hospital, which stands just 2,000 feet away from the proposed arena.
Northwestern’s plan will restrict hospital access and subject patients and caregivers to noise that is incompatible with the standard of care.
