Currently, it is allocated to the opening of the Spring 2028.
The football field is expected to carry 22,000 spectators.
In a statement issued this week, the owner and President Joe Mansueto said: “Chicago is the place where I built my work, my family and my life. While I never had a professional sports team, when the opportunity to buy the Chicago fire came in 2018, I could not think.
“Football is the world game and a global-level city like a homeland that deserves a global club of world-class-with a world home home.
“Today, we are proud to announce our plans to obtain a new and transmitted stadium from the private sector, which is suitable for football and the entertainment area in Roosevelt and a river.
“We expect to open in the spring of 2028. This new house of Chicago Fire Football Club will prove the eighty -eighth neighborhood of the city and act as an incentive to create job opportunities, economic development and vibrant social life.
“But this project is more than just a stadium. It is a space for the masses of all ages, backgrounds and neighborhoods to meet and celebrate the beautiful game – in the heart of our city.
“It comes to investing in Chicago, not only on the days of the match, but every day as a committed community partner.
“The Chicago fire is a club in height. Soon, we will have a permanent house that reflects the passion of the city we love.”
The 62 -acre land plot, which will include the stadium, is the former waste dump and Riard on the banks of the Chicago River.
Chicago White Sox also sought to build a new stadium there.
A temporary field is placed there in planning.
The relevant MLB and MidWest team seeks to obtain more than a billion dollars in the project's general financing.
Currently, Chicago Fire plays her home games in Soller Field, a stadium that shares them with the American Football Association giants in Chicago Beers.
However, the new stadium will be suitable for the mere football games.
Meanwhile, White Sox plays in a 40,000 -average rate field.
