Michael Boos, the executive director of the Association for the Wolf Lake Initiative, has expressed concern about the potential for a potential stadium near Wolf Lake in Hammond, Illinois. Boos has used Wolf Lake for recreation for a long time and helped form the association to protect the area from a potential development threat in 1999. Despite efforts for a third airport losing steam, Boos still hosts events and advocates for the health of the lake. The water in Wolf Lake is remarkably clean despite being surrounded by heavy industry. The lake would be stocked with bass and other top level predators, making anglers happy but the fishing pressure has increased.
