In June 1991, the station was caught on fire after the victory of the Chicago Bulls in the 1991 NBA Finals led to a series of looting during the night.
In 2001, Metra constructed a new terminal two blocks south at 93rd Street to replace this station. The new South Chicago station was dedicated June 4, 2001.
