After a year of doubt and uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the future of the Chicago Red Stars looks brighter than ever.
Early Monday morning the club announced a new ownership group featuring a diverse group of Chicagoans. Arnim Whisler remains the team’s majority owner, but he’s added several big names to his ownership team.
They include former Chicago Bears defensive end Israel Idonije, Olympic gold medalist and Blackhawks development coach Kendall Coyne Schofield, ESPN’s Sarah Spain, music executive Colleen Mares, NFL marketing leader Julie Haddon, and local entrepreneur Marie Tillman.
“We’ve begun the process of building a singular, powerful team that spans from the pitch to the boardroom,” Whisler said in a news release.
