@HarebrainedInc Soldier field is garbage and they want a dome to be able to host event year round. It's more expensive to retrofit/upgrade than to build new.
@BCB_Sara You realize Bears ownership said they will pay 100% for the new stadium right? They asked for tax breaks and for the state to pay for the infrastructure. The Bears bring in so much money to hotels, restaurants, shops. They should be ok with some tax breaks.
@MaggieLJohnson Such greedy owners.....they already bought the land and were going to 100% pay for the new stadium. Asked for infrastructure and tax breaks. You must not care about how many other businesses, hotels, restaurants they Bears benefit due to fans attending games.
@Apple_Sauced_@DadInFW And Chicago will be missing out on all of the hotels, businesses, restaurants, etc.....since they will not be as busy and layoff people or close up. Those jobs will move across state lines.
@CelinaBarajas1@the_real_bp11 These billionaires were going to pay for the entire stadium. Yes, they wanted to work out a deal for the taxes. You know how much money surrounding areas are going to lose now? Enough to cut jobs and close up shop.
@CelinaBarajas1 Guess you will be happy with local businesses, hotels and tourism spots losing all of this money from fans that only went to Chicago for the Bears. Less money spent will cause jobs lost and businesses closing.
@ChrisMWilliams How is this greed driven? Bears offered to fully pay for the stadium. They expected Illinois to pay for the infrastructure. Nothing wrong with that. Chicago makes hell of alot of money from the Bears fans.
@RPatrickAllen Except actual non-idiotic informed football fans would NOT throw Tyreek's name out there since there is a chance he doesn't play this year since he STILL needs another surgery for his LCL.
@RealBirdLawyer And? Had Nagy out there trying to act like a coach, a HS running back coach trying to coach NFL level Wide Receivers, freak accident to Rice 2 years ago, then missed 9 games last year, Worthy had freak accident with Kelce, etc. They fixing stuff. Give them a chance & quit crying.
