It's the easiest decision in the world and they are fiddling their thumbs like a cheap mom and pop operation. as much as i hate them outside of the city, i have to reluctantly agree The Bears have two winning hands. The city/state gives them $2 billion to stay in city limits. They build their own stadium in AH and make billions on that. The most telling thing is that the Bears haven't ever played any of the big cards. They didn't do any fake threats to move to Indiana. No rumors of meetings with San Antonio or St. Louis. These things can take years to get it all worked out. There is no way the Bears will get this public funding. Unless the new stadium can also double as migrant housing. There will be no support for this amongst the politicians. This lakefront stadium is a dead dog. What's stranger? Acting like it will work, or pushing this while upstaging your team's biggest NFL story in years? Exactly. Overshadow the draft with an idea of a potential, hypothetical building that may or may not be something they’ll pursue if all the stars align over the next several years. When was the best time to do this? During training camp? This is perfect timing. It'll likely be received poorly and we'll forget about it because of C-Wi11 and the draft. _________________ Blago: https://youtube.com/shorts/Lftdxd-YXt8?feature=share "You can’t love your country only when you win." -President Biden | |||

The funding is far more of a concern than if they can replace a parking lot with a domed stadium. You must have forgot about the last person to try and build on that site. There is a massive difference between a museum with no connection to Chicago and the Chicago Bears. Plus, Lucas just moved it back to California where it made more sense anyways. And, can a legitimate argument be made that because in this case they are replacing an existing development as opposed to adding a new one, it is status quo as far as Friends of the Parks is concerned? _________________ | ||

If the plan is so bad you need a generational athlete to cover its stink, the best time to hold a press conference is never. _________________ Peter Clavin wrote: Because you are stupid, maybe read some books educate yourself.

With all due respect it's hard to take anything he says seriously. I've said from the very start that AH will happen or the city/state will give the Bears $2 billion to stay in the city. In one hour, a plan that would involve the Bears staying in the city with about $2 billion in public funding is going to be announced though it won't be official. Great timing on that post Bob. _________________ | ||

This is just a game of chicken where ultimately the Bears will win but may not win as much as they had hoped. _________________ | ||

I am not assuming that it gets final approval. It's clear that everyone involves seems to think it is going that way though. These types of deals can fall apart. It happened with Jerry World at the first location. _________________ | ||

You seem to be pivoting to the idea that the lakefront stadium isn't 100% certain to happen. I agree it isn't 100% certain to happen. As I said, Jerry World failed in the first location he wanted to build it in. _________________ | ||
