After initially planning to play their home games in Franklin, WI, the independent Chicago Dogs have announced that they have pivoted back to playing at Impact Field in Rosemont. This change followed governor JB Pritzker’s announcement that Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois initiative includes allowing outdoor venues to operate at 20% capacity with restricted concessions.
Opened in 2018, the 6,300-seat venue is located just east of O’Hare and is surrounded by loads of hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues. There’s also a parking garage right there. Like, right there. Whether or not 1,200 people will turn out for the Dogs’ 30 scheduled home games isn’t certain, but the team is pretty pumped.
