Supreme Court of Illinois

City defendants were not entitled to immunity under Local Governmental and Governmental Employees Tort Immunity Act section 3-106, in a negligence claim arising from a fall in a parking lot adjacent to a high school football field, and the unpaved site of the injury was not an open and obvious condition which might preclude a duty to remedy it.
