Someone added 'illegaly' to the statement that the mayor bulldozed X's in the runway. Is that true? Can someone provide supporting evidence? If no evidence turns up, I'll delete the word. -- Ansible

I would speculate if the City of Chicago is being fined by the FAA for the premature shutdown of the airport, the actions were indeed "illegal". -- mstyne

Dis-heartening...but this page should be nominated for feature if it already hasn't been. -- Hard Raspy Sci 06:33, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

If anything this article should be noted as a prime example of POV issues. Written entirely by the 200 people who benefited from an airport in Chicago's front yard, and continually re-edited once one of the remaining 99.99% resident of Chicago tried to NPOV the article.

The comment [[Written entirely ]by the 200 people who benefited from an airport in Chicago's front yard]] contains its own POV bias. Meigs Field contributed to the economy of Chicago in many ways far far beyond the pilots based there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rkaplan (talk • contribs) 20:02, August 21, 2006 (UTC)

[edit] move?

Since Meigs is gone, should this article be moved to Northerly Island, which currently redirects to Meigs Field? — goethean ॐ 02:27, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

• I disagree with moving it under Northerly Island, Meigs has great landmark/historical value on its own and deserves its own entry. By the way, I disagree with Northerly Island being redirected here too since it is a sepparate object (though I wonder wether the island deserves its entry). -Gary
