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.
