Here's the original report from Guillermo Rivera:
http://www.chicagonow.com/fire-confidential/2016/08/fire-sale-at-least-three-groups-interested/
Chicago have been trying to get out of their stadium deal, to no avail. Under the terms of the contract:
- Any Chicago MLS team has to play there for the next 20 years.
- Bridgeview owns naming rights and merchandise rights in the stadium.
- The Fire have to pay rent, $300k which increases 2% annually, for the field and for practice facilities.
- Chicago only get 92% of gross ticket revenue; 50% split of net parking and net concession revenue
- Bridgeview receives 77.5% of gross merchandise revenue.
Some people allegedly are interested but the Fire have no intention to sell right now. I wouldn't either considering how much the value is going up, I'd sit on it for at least 15 more years.
TL;DR - Fire aren't for sale, their stadium situation is a mess.
