It was so much more than the concerts. NU can also hold

60 Ravinia concerts if they want now. With no special permits as long as they follow the MOU. The zoning changes were so egregious compared to what they had before. But naturally their marketing team did such a good job downplaying what all the changes were and people were so focused on the large concerts they missed everything else.

“Marketing” is generous. I remember in one Zoom meeting with the neighbors Davis (NU community PR rep)was bragging about the economic study they did, but when repeatedly pressed to share these amazing results he spoke of, the study was suddenly not worth talking about and they couldn’t share any of because parts of it were “irrelevant”. Double speak!

This meeting also turned out to be a faux meeting, as they then used it to turn around and lie to the broader community about what the local neighborhood wanted and the hat was discussed in the meeting.
