Emanuel: Lucas has heart set on lakefront site; museum could be lost

Movie mogul George Lucas has his "heart set" on building a $400 million museum on 17 acres of lakefront land near Soldier Field, Mayor Rahm Emanuel disclosed Wednesday, saying he's now afraid Chicago will lose the coveted prize.

Emanuel said Lucas' hometown of San Francisco "coughed it up" after a federal panel rejected the picturesque Presidio site that was Lucas' top choice.

The mayor said he now fears Chicago will do the same, thanks to a federal judge's decision to keep alive a lawsuit filed by Friends of the Parks challenging the lakefront land giveaway.
