Transit first Olympics planning in Chicago

From "With or without the games," subtitled "Daley plans new land, housing even if we don't get Olympics," in the Chicago Sun-Times:

With 15,000 fewer seats than originally planned, the stadium-in-a-park includes a partial roof, 117 luxury suites, and club seats to generate even more revenue. Two-thirds of the seats would be located in a temporary grandstand. The stadium would be wrapped in photographs of Olympic heroes to cover an otherwise mundane temporary skin. There would be no parking, putting a premium on an Olympic transportation system to be developed in conjunction with CTA.

The article has a slide show with various renderings of the waterfront, Olympic Village, and the temporary stadium.
