I was looking at this as well since I live in the greater Chicagoland area. The Dick's Sporting goods website still lists the Streets of Woodfield as a store. Plus, I believe it is much larger than 30000 Sq. Ft. My best guess for the location is what is listed as store location #5 with "New Store Coming Soon" on the Streets of Woodfield website. Overall, 30,000 Sq ft. spread across 2 floors is not really all that big a place. Also, the article mentions the location being on the south end of the center, Dick's is the north most store location. Just my 2 cents.
