She mentioned being surprised earlier this month when the team revealed that the stadium would be a central feature of the new development named “The 78” along the Chicago River.

The Fire says the stadium will fit around 22,000 fans and was designed by Gensler in “Chicago School” fashion.

“I love this city and its architecture,” stated Joe Mansueto. “The addition of this stadium to Chicago’s iconic skyline will make it appear timeless. It will seem as though it’s always belonged here, yet it will incorporate the modern enhancements necessary for a world-class soccer club.”

“Our vision for the Chicago Fire FC stadium was established during discussions with the team — to embody “MLS 3.0″ and create a new benchmark for fan and hospitality experiences,” said Kirk Funkhouser, Gensler’s Principal-in-Charge. “We design every area with the goal of improving the match day experience and anticipate delivering an outstanding venue that Chicagoans, players, coaches, and staff will cherish for many years.”

The team says the stadium can also host other happenings including concerts and community events.
