The Burning Question: Who Owns the Chicago Fire? (Besides All Those Dragons, Maybe)
Ah, the Chicago Fire. A team with a fiery name, a passionate fanbase, and a history that's, well, hotter than a jalapeno popper on a bad day. But with all the action on the pitch, one question sometimes gets left out in the cold: who exactly is the boss of this fiery squad?
The Not-So-Mysterious Moneybags: Enter Joe Mansueto
Fear not, friends! The answer isn't some mythical creature breathing fire over Soldier Field (although that would be pretty cool). The current owner of the Chicago Fire is Joe Mansueto, a successful businessman who's probably more comfortable with spreadsheets than scorching nets.
From Investment Guru to Soccer Hero (Maybe)
Mansueto isn't your typical sports team owner. He's the founder of Morningstar, a big name in the financial world. So how'd this investment whiz end up running a soccer team? Well, that's a story for another day (but let's just say it involves a love for the game and, hopefully, a bigger trophy cabinet in the future).
A New Era for the Fire?
Since taking the reins in 2019, Mansueto has shaken things up a bit. He brought the team back to Soldier Field, much to the delight of fans who missed the electric atmosphere. Will this billionaire businessman be the key to unlocking the Fire's true potential? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: things are heating up in Chicago!
