The Chicago Fire celebrate a milestone of 23 years that’s all about an amazing community

This week the Chicago Fire Football Club celebrates their 23rd Anniversary. On October 8th, 1997 at Navy Pier, the founder, and original GM Peter Wilt announced the name of the club. It was a name that was based in the history of Chicago, an event that spurred on a great rebirth and revival that would turn it into the city that it is today. Now, 23 years later, Chicago Fire FC is still seeking its own rebirth and revival.
