[NU Sports] OT: Chicago bid

[Evan Bradley]

Having worked at the aquatic center, I can tell you that it doesn't
have nearly enough seating.  This, I suspect, would be a problem for
any facility at NU, save Ryan Field, which would probably only be
sufficient for preliminary soccer matches; soccer, track, and
gymnastics are huge draws, especially track & field, which is usually
done in the (large) main Olympic stadium.
