Started my day at 6 am with free coffee, fresh water, and excellent vibes. Chicago really is the best.

@theforgivenjuan @MicheleSteele Probably because the bears aren’t building in the city of Chicago lol

[Alex Pope @AlexRpope]

@JoeRicketts23 @todd1967 @danpompei We can agree to disagree, at the end of the day, funding or no funding, this has been an absolute disaster for everyone involved

[Alex Pope @AlexRpope]

@JoeRicketts23 @todd1967 @danpompei Talking about the new $8billion district not the United center itself, and yes the United center district will absolutely beat the new bears stadium revenue because they play 16x as many games at 1/3 of the capacity and host concerts year round.

[Alex Pope @AlexRpope]

@JoeRicketts23 @todd1967 @danpompei Sure, nonetheless, 2 stadiums and an entire United Center district that are recieving $0 in public funding have been announced with shovels in the ground within Chicagoland this past year. Why should the wealthiest team out of all of them need public handouts?

[Alex Pope @AlexRpope]

@JoeRicketts23 @todd1967 @danpompei A little help and nearly $1billion in infrastructure are very different things. Why should someone in Arlington Heights property taxes double for a parking lot and an offramp to a stadium that a team plays in 8 times per year.

[Alex Pope @AlexRpope]

@JoeRicketts23 @todd1967 @danpompei I guess I fail to see how this legitimizes a multi billion dollar corporation shifting their own financial burden to taxpayers for a product they will then sell back to the taxpayers who are now already paying for it. If I can’t afford a Ferrari it’s not someone else’s job to pay

[Alex Pope @AlexRpope]

@JoeRicketts23 @todd1967 @danpompei Both privately financed?? Just like the brand new northwestern stadium getting built in Evanston with $0 in tax payer subsidies

[Alex Pope @AlexRpope]

@JoeRicketts23 @todd1967 @danpompei SoFi, MetLife, Gillette, Chase Center, Intuit Dome, all privately funded in their entirety.
