IIRC, Artur Rodzinski left the CSO after one season because he wanted to move the orchestra from Orchestra Hall to the Medinah Temple (which now houses a Bloomingdales) for its supposedly superior acoustics and the board (understandably) wouldn't consider it. I've always liked Orchestra Hall myself. The CSO has made great recordings in both venues, but Reiner's famous audiophile favorite Also sprach Zarathustra was recorded in Orchestra Hall.
Carnegie Hall's remodeling was also controversial.
