Looks like the Fire will keep their name

Open letter from Joe. I can't imagine that he would make a remark about the historical Chicago fire event and then change the name.

DEAR CHICAGO,

Today, Mayor Lightfoot and I are officially announcing that the Chicago Fire is returning to the heart of the city, at Soldier Field, for the 2020 Major League Soccer season.

On this anniversary of both the Great Chicago Fire and the founding of our team, it is my pledge to deliver a world class club worthy of our city and one that represents all of Chicago — our neighborhoods, our people, our communities.

The game we love has a unique ability to unite us all — and when Chicago is united, we can accomplish anything. It is my honor to invite a new generation to stand with us, as we make our stand for you.

I’m proud to represent Chicago as your club’s new owner. Together, we’ll build a club that all of Chicago can proudly call our own.

Joe Mansueto
Owner, Chicago Fire
