Event-Day Parking at McDonald's Park
Chicago Fire lists event parking at $40 for vehicles and $160 for buses, with parking lots opening three hours before kickoff (chicagofirefc.com). The venue is at 1347 S Wells Street in South Loop, a short distance from the neighborhood center, so an event-day plan is useful before driving toward the stadium.
McDonald's Park is planned for The 78, a riverfront site extending from Roosevelt Road south to 16th Street and from Clark Street west to the Chicago River (wikipedia.org). The development includes two temporary surface parking lots and public parking, according to Related Midwest (chicago.suntimes.com). The stadium is scheduled to open in 2028 (corporate.mcdonalds.com).
Named Parking Alternatives Near the Stadium
Chicago Fire's official matchday parking page gives the clearest named event option outside the venue grounds: vehicle parking costs $40, while bus parking costs $160, and the lots open three hours before kickoff (chicagofirefc.com). These arrangements are intended for matchday arrivals, making them more practical than relying on casual curb parking near the stadium.
The 78 is described as a premier riverfront location in the heart of Chicago (corporate.mcdonalds.com). Public parking and two temporary surface lots are part of the development plans (chicago.suntimes.com), while the stadium site occupies land between Roosevelt Road, 16th Street, Clark Street, and the Chicago River (wikipedia.org).

Street Restrictions and Event-Day Enforcement Around McDonald's
Chicago Fire's event parking guidance sets vehicle parking at $40 and bus parking at $160, with lots opening three hours before kickoff (chicagofirefc.com). Drivers heading to an event should treat the official lots as the designated matchday arrangement rather than assuming nearby streets will provide unrestricted event parking.

McDonald's Park is planned as a new sports and entertainment destination, with public parking and temporary surface lots included in the surrounding development (corporate.mcdonalds.com; chicago.suntimes.com). These boundaries make the approaches around the development especially relevant when match traffic builds.
