Attended Special Olympics here. The Park District does a good job of keeping the athletes moving and active while they wait to compete. Although the park is centrally located, parking is very limited during this event for safety reasons and to make drop off easier. The facilities are adequate with lots of portable toilets and hand sinks. The grassy areas could use a lot of work as it is very lumpy and uneven. The Stands should also be covered so that inclement weather doesn't interfere with sports events.

The outside of the stadium is nice. It has some pretty architecture. It's under construction though and has been for some time. I also visited this stadium as a child and I believe it was under some type.of construction then more than 20 years ago. Please restore this stadium we would like our facilities on the Southside to be fully useful.

  • Derrick White

I have been coming to this stadium since the early 70s. While it's used for high school football games and some other events? It's been long overdue for rehabilitation they are doing some construction at the site, so please let's fill those seats and preserve our neighborhood park and stadium.

  • Lenora Brown

I go here every year to attend the Special Olympics track and field events. I really wish the Chicago Park District would invest in making the grassy areas less lumpy. The uneven lawn makes the entire field an eyesore. Maybe they could cover the stands for better viewing in inclement weather.

  • Gary Davis III

Nice place. Was able to park under shade trees. Home side bleachers under renovation. Lots of port-o-potties. Nice turf but a little hard on the elbows. 4 turf burns.

  • Alahrie Aziz

This is a beautiful stadium built in a neighborhood. Make sure to plan to arrive early to get the best parking or plan to walk a few blocks to enjoy the game.
