On Sunday, Chicago’s third annual Chicago Ideas Week (CIW) officially came to a close. The Fire were excited to be one of two sports teams in town (the other being the Bulls) to participate. CIW has quickly grown to be Chicago’s premier event for sharing ideas, inspiring action, and igniting change to positively impact our world and getting invited to participate is a great honor.
More than 30 students came to Toyota Park on Friday afternoon to join in our Youth Lab. Representatives from each area of the Front Office set aside their time to give the group a behind-the-scenes look at the Fire, from getting ready for game day to what it takes to be a good corporate citizen, to what it really takes if you want to work in sports. The evening wrapped with an all-access tour of Toyota Park.
While we’re sad to see another Chicago Ideas Week come and go, we were definitely happy to play host this year (even late on a Friday afternoon). Check out https://www.chicagoideas.com/ for more great content from this year’s week.
