Evanston residents expressed concern at a recent meeting hosted by City Councilmember Eleanor Revelle about how Northwestern’scould impact the area’s culture, saying it could resemble Chicago’s Wrigleyville neighborhood.
“Currently, we have a handful of football games a year that have 35,000 or more fans and you’re proposing to have with 35,000 people. At some point, a point where a line is crossed and the neighborhood changes,” resident John Labbe said. “I mean Wrigley Field is a different type of stadium, different type of neighborhood.
Despite Davis’ reassurance, residents are worried about how concerts could disturb nearby residents. Northwestern’s Project Manager Steven Himes, who also worked on the 2018 Welsh-Ryan Arena renovation, said the stadium’s design will help contain noise.
