Youth Football Team Left in the Dark as West Side Park Converted into Migrant Shelter

The Windy City Dolphins Youth Football Team in Chicago is uncertain about their future as their home field, Amundsen Park, is set to be converted into a migrant shelter. The City of Chicago plans to house 200 migrants in the park's fieldhouse for up to six months, causing concern among residents and the football team. While the Chicago Park District has arranged for youth and senior programming to be relocated, the Dolphins, a separate non-profit league consisting mostly of local kids, are not included. The community is frustrated by the lack of consultation and fears that the displacement of the football team may lead to negative consequences for the children involved.
