    Trivia Clarification?
    Hi, I got this question for trivia today-
    Who operates Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears?
    Chicago Park District
    Chicago Bears
    City Of Chicago
    McCaskey Family

    I guessed City of Chicago, which was wrong. It said the answer was Chicago Park District. I checked Wikipedia, and it lists the owners of Soldier Field as both the Chicago Park District and the City of Chicago, and says it is operated by SMG (a private company)/Soldier Field Joint Venture. SMG should then be the answer, no?

    Can anyone offer any clarification? It seems to be a misleading question, but I could very well be wrong. This is just based on a quick internet search after I got the question wrong, and I know Wikipedia is far from perfect. Just don't want others to get a question that may be wrong

    I would post a link to the Wikipedia site, but I'm on my phone, and it would give the mobile site link.

    Thanks for any help

                  Hey rsnnh - Yes, that's a bit of a messed up question. The answer should be SMG. And that Wiki page is a bit messed up too. On the side it lists Chicago Park District/City of Chicago as the owners but within the article it says "In 2001, the Chicago Park District, which owns the structure, faced substantial criticism..." And everywhere else ie the official Soldier Field website, ESPN, etc... all refer to as only the Park District as the owners. Wiki needs to get their facts straight.

                  I'll send a note to Admin to reset your trivia for you.

                      "SMG has served as a private manager for more than 200 public and private facilities in nine countries, including convention centers, stadiums, theaters and other venues. Among the other facilities the firm operates, in addition to Soldier Field, are Reliant Park in Houston and Direct Energy Centre in Toronto." (CBS Local Media, 2011).


                      From a creditable source, that Wiki BS is that exactly...BS... anyone can post on that shit, it could be TT posting that for all we know
