New Green Line Stop Planned for Soldier Field

RTA plan includes new Green Line stop close to stadium

After dealing with all the trouble of getting U2 fans back home from Soldier Field, transportation officials are thinking of building a new Green Line station close to the stadium.

Even though there is currently no money for it, a city planning report submitted on Tuesday by the Regional Transportation Authority includes plans for a new station at Cermak Road, or on 18th Street.

The Sun-Times reports that CTA spokeswoman Noelle Gaffney confirmed the idea. 

“[W]ith the ongoing development in the South Loop, there has been discussion about an in-fill station at either of those locations,” Gaffney said. “That’s a large span without a stop.”

The Green Line currently has no stop between Roosevelt and 35th Street.

We’re sure football fans will be cheering for this initiative.
