Chicago – The National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame in Chicago’s Little Italy is facing foreclosure.
Bridgeview Bank Group, which holds the $8.3 million mortgage on the hall of fame on the 1400 block of West Taylor Street, filed foreclosure papers this week in Cook County Circuit Court.
The hall of fame’s more than 200 inductees include baseball legend Joe DiMaggio, NFL quarterback Joe Montana, Packers legendary coach Vince Lombardi and gymnast Mary Lou Retton.
According to documents filed this week, the owners of the hall of fame, owe Bridgeview Bank Group about $8.3 million in interest and principal on a loan that matured in early July.
The suit names Jerry Colangelo, the Chicago Heights-born former owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who is an inductee and served as chairman of the effort to build the museum.
Officials from the Hall of Fame could not immediately be reached for comment.
