Soldier Field even had its ball field and stadium seats lit up last night-
in addition to the colonnades and the
interior lights that shine out of the clear glass windows. It was
unbelievable. There was a glowing haze that
you could see from Randolph street from all of the lights.  And we can=B9t
monitor the area that birds would
be sitting up there against the east glass wall.

This is very upsetting and I am wondering if anyone on BCN has ideas about
getting these lights out ASAP.
I have left messages with the facility and operations managers at the Field
and even tried to find them this morning.
I contacted the Lights Out committee two weeks ago now about the problem.

It is upsetting to think that all the work that has been done to get the
rest of the Loop dark is being more than balanced
out by the bird trap that those lights are creating on the lake there.

Thanks for any help with this rather large problem,
