City endorses Blackhawks training facility expansion on Near West Side

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The City of Chicago is endorsing the Blackhawks' $65 million proposal to expand the team's practice facility on the Near West Side.

The plan would expand the existing Fifth-Third Arena on West Jackson and a two-story building would be built on a vacant lot to the west of the arena.

It includes adding ice rinks and other services for the community.

It's expected to be ready by early 2026.
