The debate over Northwestern's new football stadium nears an end. Evanston should approve the project.
At its core, the battle over Northwestern University’s new football stadium in Evanston, and the zoning change allowing for the scheduling of six concerts therein, is a familiar one pitting substantial economic and educational benefits for an entire community against neighbors who understandably prefer their own peace and quiet.
Once they have gotten over their pique at defeat, we’ll wager some of the angry neighbors will end up going to the shows, or throwing a brat on their grills and sitting out of a beautiful summer night and listening to Green Day for free. Some of their teenage offspring might be able to sell parking spots in the driveways too. We doubt presenters will be booking hard-edge youth acts at this particular venue. It’ll skew older, and life in Evanston and Wilmette will go on as before.
