Chicago's 'Rat Hole' Makes Rare Public Appearance at Smashing Pumpkins Concert

The City of Chicago temporarily loaned its famous 'Rat Hole' concrete slab to the United Center for a Smashing Pumpkins concert on October 14, 2026. The display coincided with the band's 'Rats in a Cage' tour, celebrating the 30th anniversary of their 1995 album 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.' The slab, which has been preserved at City Hall since 2025, was displayed in the Center Atrium from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. for fans to photograph. City officials described the arrangement as a perfect thematic match, while the concert featured a 150-minute setlist including deep cuts and recent tracks.

"Bears to Build $2 Billion Domed Stadium in Chicago, Sources Say"

The Chicago Bears are planning to build a new stadium south of Soldier Field in the City of Chicago, investing over $2 billion in private money into a publicly owned domed stadium and park space. The team's current lease at Soldier Field is set to expire in 2033, and the plan is to remain there until the new stadium is built. The proposed location has garnered support from the public, with 80% of polled Chicagoans favoring a domed stadium that would host major events throughout the year. If successful, the Bears are likely to put the Arlington Park property up for sale.
