For the first time in more than a decade, fans of the Chicago Fire had hope.
About a month ago, the Men In Red formally announced that owner Andrew Hauptman had finally sold the rest of his stake in the club to Joe Mansueto, making him the new majority owner in the process. Fans could not have been happier with this news.
Hauptmann had been slowly killing the club ever since he took over back in 2007. But now, with new ownership and an upcoming move to Soldier Field set to be finalized, it seemed like a new dawn was on the horizon for Chicago.
