      Not just 8 games ... goal is to host Super Bowls, Final Fours, College bowls, High school championships, soccer games, world cups, year round concerts, etc. The economic impact those combined events would have on our local economy is in the billions, well justifying any costs

    Projected cost 4.6 billion actual cost will be more like 5 billion....and for a historically losing team, NO THANKS! Perhaps the Patriots with their historical record but as a taxpayer I'm not getting hit with more taxes, Illinois is out of control with taxes and getting worse. Retired this year with Indiana looking like the better option between fiscal responsibility and crime.

      Bears have the 5th best record in NFL history with a .554 winning %. Their all-time record is 793-634-42. If this is too difficult for you figure out, that’s 793 wins, 634 losses and 42 ties.

      @@seanman1231 From 2000 to today the Bears are 181-206 difficult argument to ask for 5 billion dollars. Their 5th best record you quote come from early history wins just about everyone is dead and don't remember. Let's face it you can't take tax dollars from people for a subpar sports team.

    I need funding for a new house , I can only afford a 500k home but the taxpayers can give me another 500k so I can have a 1 million dollar house . Also throw on some tax cuts . Doesn’t make sense . Pay for your own stadium Mc caskey , ridiculous

      Is Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and K-Pop artists coming and performing at your house, bro? Are you about to employ at least one thousand people to work at your house, bro? Can people tailgate on your lawn, sell found and memorabilia, and have a good time, bro?
      If no to all of these things, then you can't compare an athletic facility to a private abode. That's just silly.
