CHICAGO — Soldier Field is a historic building with great tradition. The home of the Chicago Bears is in a vibrant part of the city.
But Illinois should never play there again.
The latest in a string of mistakes by the lake came Saturday against a South Florida team begging to get beat.
If only ... the game had been at Memorial Stadium. As it was intended.
Illinois didn't play the Bulls in Orlando or Miami last season. The game was in Tampa on South Florida's home field.
You don't give away a home game.
