Come now @ChicagoBears!
MILLIONS of us want you to stay!
To stay right here in CHICAGO!
But failing that if you must insist on building a new stadium, follow the lead of Joe Mansueto or your junior partner Pat Ryan and FIND BETTER PEOPLE TO GET YOUR OWN STADIUM PROJECT MOVING!
@budweiserusa why are there NO beer vendors and Busch Stadium. The "vendors" stand in the concourse. The first one came to 100 level in the 7th inning.
@BleacherNation@chicagobars@Cubs@PeteCrowArm going to be a bunch of kids who are big baseball fans watching this movie. It would be really cool if there was a surprise guest..... Check out the ad's fun fact
@CubsWorld80 He's been in for the last two blowouts when we could literally do a position player.... And almost blown it. Is that worth a roster spot? @BleacherNation
@Cubs I thought you were only going to let people with ties to the Cubs sing the seventh inning stretch. Between @DJPaulyD and @AlexCoop you have lost your way. Just play Harry replays. SHAME ON YOU. @BleacherNation
@chicagobars There is a difference between a developer and a long time landlord that wants to sell his property. This one is definitely a landlord who thought he had a golden ticket situation.
@SteveP468@dmihalopoulos What deficit ball? Rahm got the city on a path to fiscal responsibility by starting not 1 but 2 pension payment ramps. Pension debt started much earlier than 2011... . Just saying
@DanButtersChi @JimA21754232 Generally agree. Also fun fact the ticket fees are laid out in the contract, 10 x parking price per hour (including CPI which we buy down every year). The other option is drop parking tickets to $25 outside the loop so people stop paying meters
@DanButtersChi @JimA21754232 If you did a big debt to buy it out. You have to pay back the debt holders which means if you take parking meters out you have to get that revenue from somewhere else. Once the city owns it, it will be harder to enforce elected officials to keep parking, thus paying off the debt
@DanButtersChi @JimA21754232 The time to do this would have been during covid. When loop utilization rates were at an all-time low. It likely would have led to a lawsuit but that was the time to take the risk. The buyout is essentially usage times multiplied by fee.
