Dumb and Dumber


Movie mogul George Lucas wants to open a museum devoted to narrative storytelling on the Chicago lakefront and put it in a building that looks like a supersized Hostess Sno-Ball, with a flying ring attached (I kid you not).  And where does he want to put his white blob? you ask.  Why, in the parking area next to Soldier Field, where da fans tailgate.

The Tribune sent a reporter to sample opinion before the Bears-Vikings’ game on Sunday.  Surprise, the fans are mostly opposed.  They want to grill their food and toss their bean bags, weather and George Lucas be damned.  Really, it’s hard to pick a side to root for here, the rich guy with bad taste or a bunch of middle-aged fans who have nothing better to do with their lives.  The only fair way to resolve this—and there’s a federal court case seeking to block the museum’s construction—would be a coin toss at midfield.
