Why not just say you're an anti-semite. It'll be easier for you.

"Martin Luther King Drive and Cottage Grove Ave" Just the sound of it makes you reflexively reach to lock your car doors. Why are they planning to build a stadium in one of the worst areas of Chicago?

I don't think Northerly Island is nearly large enough to hold an 80,000 seat stadium. They should put it in Jackson Park, which has a history of hosting large temporary structures. It's still in a bad area, but it's more scenic and could certainly be made more secure than Washington Park.

its a temporary stadium built just for the games, it has the same seating capacity as the beijings bird nest.. just not as massive.
