Da Bears

@lfaticus3 @ChiSportsTracks @ChicagoBears @tyschmit @AdamSchefter They got a deal done very quickly with a well run state.

@Patrick14206369 @clayharbs82 The Bears wanted exactly what SoFi got dummy, tax certainty. They pay 13mm/yr and Bears were looking at 53mm without it.

@HTJ_TCA @Palpably_Unfair @esidery @AdamSchefter Seems like you and others only care about how tax money is spent if it benefits the Bears. Do you care about the taxpayer or not? What's the benefit of that and all the pension spiking IL has? You've been vocal about that too, correct?

[Da Bears @DaBears0920]

@Betsycashmoney @SanchoPanzy That ordinance wouldn't prevent a public stadium from being built. The Lucas museum stopped plans because a non-govt entity with way too much power sued. And you won't answer my question. Would you support a publicly owned stadium in the Museum Campus if the Bears paid for it?

[Da Bears @DaBears0920]

@HTJ_TCA @Palpably_Unfair @esidery @AdamSchefter It is less ROI than the 2.5B IL spends on illegals. I'll give you that.

[Da Bears @DaBears0920]

@Betsycashmoney @SanchoPanzy Do you realize how much more valuable a condo dt on the lake would be? Also the Bears AH plan includes retail, hotels, residential, etc. The stadium would only take up a fraction of the 300+ acres

[Da Bears @DaBears0920]

@HTJ_TCA @Palpably_Unfair @esidery @AdamSchefter Natural gas for a business is a lot different than freeway and mass transit expansions. Have you ever had a business pay 900mm for more natural gas. And the infrastructure upgrades will benefit the entire area.

[Da Bears @DaBears0920]

@HTJ_TCA @Palpably_Unfair @esidery @AdamSchefter OMG can't believe the Bears are asking for $$ to pay for public infrastructure. The nerve! I definitely paid for the paved road in front of my house.

[Da Bears @DaBears0920]

@Betsycashmoney @SanchoPanzy So might as well demolish the museum campus and put up condos. More revenue, right?

[Da Bears @DaBears0920]

@Betsycashmoney Yes they want a modern stadium that brings in much more revenue and are willing to pay for it. So you'd be good with that? IL just pays for infrastructure and Bears pay no taxes??

[Da Bears @DaBears0920]

@Betsycashmoney Way to move the goalposts! Also you realize for most publicly owned stadiums the teams get virtually the same benefits (revenue, etc.) but pay zero property taxes. Would you be OK with that agreement?

[Da Bears @DaBears0920]

@Palpably_Unfair @HTJ_TCA @esidery @AdamSchefter They aren't asking to have the stadium paid for.

[Da Bears @DaBears0920]

@RobertJPeters You don't think that fans who fly in for a game in Hammond will stay and spend time in the city??

[Da Bears @DaBears0920]

@TayDoll1010xl Not true at all. US Bank has a great view of the MPLS skyline.

[Da Bears @DaBears0920]

@BruceIronsNFL A large metropolitan area is a foreign concept to anyone from Green Bay. Much like restaurants not owned by Darden.

[Da Bears @DaBears0920]

@jacobinfante24 Leverage, yes. But they've gotten everything they need from IN. They're doing everything they can to get IL to get something done. Its obv they want to stay in the state otherwise this saga would've been over long ago. The clock is ticking.

[Da Bears @DaBears0920]

@AaronLemingNFL Agree. The announcement was simply a warning to ILL that they're running out of time. Question is how much patience the Bears have.

[Da Bears @DaBears0920]

@AdamHoge The announcement was just another negotiating tactic. They haven't picked a site yet. It was a warning that ILL is running out of time. Question is if they don't call a special session will the Bears give them until Nov??

[Da Bears @DaBears0920]

@IrishBearsShow He got a great deal done for the Bears very quickly with Indiana. That says a lot.
