@Acyn If that was true, which for millions of reasons is definitely not, why would the Administration broadcast a weakness in our National Defense???
They are idiots who think the American public is more idiotic than they are.
@ChicagoBears@tysbagent Need to know what fitness challenge he will complete today for his birthday. Last few years have been some epic stories!
Get me the 411 @ChicagoBears
@CalebGoatQB1 15 minute walk to the train???
Maybe the South Shore. But all Metra stations are at least 25-30 minutes at a good clip from seats in Soldier.
@JDernis@Espngreeny@North2North Rent is dirt cheap because the Bears already paid upfront 30% of the costs for rebuilding a stadium they don’t own and Chicago collected all non gameday revenue plus concession and parking revenues for Bears game days.
Pretty sweet deal for Chicago who of course mismanaged it.
@OsoSm0kes FRM is a moron.
League average is 47% of league passing yardage is after the catch.
Goff in his 3 yrs with Ben was at 52%, 54% and in his final year 57%.
Caleb last year was at 55%.
Normal numbers for Ben’s offense.
Aaron Rodgers was 71%.
@JDernis@Espngreeny@North2North The NFL revenue share includes revenues from gate admissions and luxury boxes though most is from TV and merchandising deals.
But still avg team revenue was estimated to be $645M a year total.
Salary cap is $280M
Property Taxes (3B): $234M
Subtotal: $514M
Many more expenses
@JDernis@Espngreeny@North2North If a team worth $8B had a stadium worth $3B the IL property taxes without any changes would be over 2.5% of their overall net worth or 35% of their overall revenue before expenses.
No business can survive that.
Billionaires don’t become billionaires by making idiotic decisions.
@AM_Pines@shangrimom@nosoupforgeorge Did you not see the weekend schedule??? They do have one. 😂
Plus if they have a train line going to Hammond, in 3-5 years I think they can increase the number of cars and trains that goes from Chicago to Hammond if there is demand on gameday. They already do this for SF…
@klastastic@renhtin@GovPritzker 70% was merely a personal best estimate but it will be significant. Soldier is hard to get into with limited parking for any event.
But agree NWI will create a new area where people will routinely go for events. South Bend. Lafayette. Chicago S Suburbs. Big Population base.
