McCormick Place Events Center (future DePaul Arena)

[marquette]

Not really sure I'm the one you meant to call out, or why you chose this thread, but yeah, looks that way. Still a pretty solid chance it gets done before DePaul's new arena and unlike DePaul we have no say in the timeline. We also don't need a new arena as desperately as DePaul since the BC is within walking distance of campus and works perfectly fine for college basketball. It will have to go eventually, but remains in a prime location and is quite serviceable for the time being.

The new Bucks arena will most likely still be finished before the DePaul arena...

Fantastic news if it happens.

The only reason I typed "if" is because it's Chicago. I love that Toddlin' Town, but your liberal politics have really screwed the pooch there.

So how long till completion, 10 years?

Cut the negative crap about DePaul's stadium. You might want to check out some of the photos of the new stadium online. It is really going to be a nice facility.

Yeah, the arena looks really great. I like that the windows will let in natural light, and may allow a view of the Chicago skyline (thru the corner window). This looks like a more updated interior view, compared to the previous one, because the banners that i can read include Georgetown, St John's and Xavier. So this should pretty accurately show what the place will look like. And check out the rack on that woman in Section 216...!
