Just a short note to add my support for the new stadium. I understand the concerns of nearby residents (my family lives about 10 blocks away) but the positives are impressive, not the least of which is the economic boost it will give to so many workers and their families. I also find the design very attractive. It definitely is enough to lure me back into attending NU football games.
Bottom line: As a 50-plus-year resident of Evanston who has not always been enthralled by downtown developments, this stadium and what it brings to the city excites me. I truly hope it happens.
