Driving north on Lake Shore Drive, I see it every day–only it keeps getting worse. The monstrosity that is replacing Soldier Field is so ugly I can hardly keep from groaning as I pass.

Yes, it’s even worse than I imagined, a combination of a flying saucer and a monster with tentacles.

Will there be room for a 500-foot-tall neon sign above the stadium flashing: City of Chicago, Richard M. Daley, mayor?

Nothing would be a more fitting reminder of who blessed us with this surreal wonder.
