A Chicago ordinance forbids games that could damage grass or shrubs in city parks!!! I just saw this on Fox News, a group of office workers went to a park to play some soccer, well they said 10 min. later a cop showed up and gave all 10 or 12 of them each $250 tickets!!! This is CRAZY!!!!! The contacted Fox News and the news called the police department and didn't get a straight answer. The office workers are going to sue!!! This is why I hate downtown Chicago!!!!! Here is a link to Fox News Chicago, if you scroll down and look on the right hand side where it says "POLL"
