History in the South Loop

We've heard the talk about it, but it is now being confirmed by Obama's staff. Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign will hold what it hopes will be an Election Night celebration in Grant Park in Chicago, a campaign aide confirmed this morning.

The celebration will be in the South Loop or more specifically the south portion of Hutchison Field. This area has been home to various historic events such as hosting a papal visit in 1979 and a Chicago Bulls NBA championship celebration in 1991. It more routinely hosts Lollapalooza, sporting events and the Taste of Chicago.

See you there and hopefully it will be a true celebration (know on wood)!
