2008 Season Calendar
Rain-Outs, Postponements, and Schedule Changes
should be approved by Commissioner Mike Julian
UPDATE as of December, 2008: NWLL has pleaded its case to the IMD at recent quarterly meetings and even filed a lawsuit for IMD mismanagement. Though we have not yet received a formal letter of acceptance, Livingston Field will likely become a City of Chicago park. Without the tremendous support from Mayor Daley, his Department of Planning and Development, and his Chicago Park District, along with Aldermen Dan Solis (25th), Bob Fioretti (2nd), Walter Burnett (27th), and Ed Smith (28th), this agreement would have been neglected! IMD still has signs posted on two fences (shown below) since Spring, 2007 stating their intention to build on the site and destroy our field of dreams and a treasured community asset and green space.
On July 19, 2007, the City Council and Mayor Daley unanimously passed a resolution urging the IMD to keep Livingston Park a baseball field. The resolution was sponsored by Ald. Burnett, Ald. Fioretti, and Ald. Solis, and we deeply thank them for their official support! NWLL strongly condemns IMD's takeover of Livingston Field. Here are some summer 2007 articles:
