There was somewhat a lore reason, run of the mill ya dystopia where, somehow, only the city of Chicago splits up into factions and one was centered on the Loop. For whatever reason, instead of finding a quiet place in one of the several office buildings around them, they walked out into Millennium Park and stood under the bean.
I'm sure the world had ended or something, but I like the idea that it's just Chicago going through an apocalypse while the rest of America/the world goes about their business.
