A spokesperson for Sterling Bay confirmed that the stadium being built is not contingent on Amazon coming to Chicago, it will happen regardless.[2] The stadium would be located in the Lincoln Park and Bucktown neighborhoods on the north side of Chicago, approximately two miles from Wrigley Field, on the former site of the A. Finkl & Sons Steel Plant.[3] According to the Tribune{{'}}s story, the stadium would seat 20,000 and feature a retractable roof, in order to attract other events such as international soccer matches, college football, college basketball and concerts. Rugby and lacrosse were also named in documentation sent by Sterling Bay. Sterling Bay has also yet to present formal plans and still needs to gain zoning approval. In May 2018, the league announced that Chicago Cubs owner and chairman Tom Ricketts would take majority ownership of the franchise.[4][5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/columnists/ori/ct-biz-lincoln-yards-soccer-stadium-ryan-ori-20171121-story.html|title=United Soccer League expansion team coming to North Side site proposed for Amazon's HQ2|last=Ori|first=Ryan|date=November 21, 2017|publisher=Chicago Tribune}} 2. ^NBCSports.com 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/soccer/ct-spt-usl-expansion-tom-ricketts-fire-20180510-story.html|title=What does Tom Ricketts’ ownership of a USL expansion team in Chicago mean for the Fire?|date=May 10, 2018|publisher=Chicago Tribune}} 4. ^[https://www.uslsoccer.com/news_article/show/916232?referrer_id=2333971 United Soccer League] 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.si.com/soccer/2018/05/09/cubs-owner-tom-ricketts-buying-stake-chicago-soccer-team-usl|title=Cubs Owner Tom Ricketts Buying Stake in New Chicago USL Team|date=May 9, 2018|last=Rollins|first=Khandice|publisher=Sports Illustrated}} External links
