I took my bike out to "Northerly Island" (Chicago's official name for
Meigs Field) a couple of days ago and took a picture of the field.
Bear with me if I don't get this link right - might have to make a
couple of attempts.

Very sad. After they tore up the field, they didn't have any money to
develop the park. This is government vandalism in its starkest form.
