Where is your crystal ball? Money is undefeated. I will bet on Kevin Warren and JB making a deal, with the Bears bringing more money to the table. Bear Down!
I don't understand why the video makes it seem like it's a done deal. I say abandon the city, it's falling apart. Go to Arlington Heights. But that's just my opinion that doesn't matter.
@@kava8902 City is doing just fine, and will do fine with or without the Bears. Just don’t expect one dime from the taxpayers for this. We’re still paying for their last renovation.
I live in the Chicagoland area. It's not getting built. It's ridiculous that we (Illinoians)pay the highest property taxes in the country and that the city it self is in serious trouble both economically with a 1 billion budget shortfall this year alone(2024) and civilly with random crime on the rise. Its a nice luxury item to strive for once order is established, but it is not an affordable one for Chicago at this point in time. If they could raise the money with private bond sales for those who want it, fine, but not with tax dollars.
Building this thing would be a disgrace, a slap in the face to all Chicagoans who are struggling with high gas prices, high food prices, soon-to-be-increased property taxes and who knows what all else. And for what? For football games?? It’s ridiculous.
Kronke is not just a football operation only. Plus, he has 2 nfl teams, not one. Also, Arlington Hieghts is not a 12 month destination area, like California or Vegas. So you need to make it that. With housing, hotels, business, museums, and free entertainment year round. The McCaskeys need a second source of income, which could be a mini stadium area like Jerry Jones has created in Frisco Texas. It doesn't take superbowls to be successful. Lord knows the Bears and Cowboys are proof of that. The "Brand" is what needs to be sold. The deal the bears have at Solider Field now to play 10 games in is just fine to showcase the brand on the cheap. With the most unbelievable Vista and location in all of sports. Modify that into a working model. With a Modern Dome addition. Capacity is not what it use to be with the price of tickets. It's the experience that sells on mutiple levels. Not everybody can afford an $1800. dollar ticket. So, build the experience that you can sell to the common man.
And still pay lease to the City since the proposed stadium will still be built on the Chicago park districk land. If the McCaskeys are smart, they should just say the new stadium will double as a sanctuary for the illegal migrants, they will definitely approve it asap.
I hope it happens, as a Bears fan, and resident of Illinois, I'd like to see Chicago get a new stadium to not only host Bears games, but also revenue generating events for the city and state. But since Chicago doesn't want any private business like that on the Lakefront, I'm pessimistic. I wish Illinois, Chicago, and the Bears cut a deal, where Chicago gets 50% of all revenue generated, Illinois gets 30% and the Bears get 20% of all revenue generated, and during Bears games, the Bears get 30% and the state gets 20%. But again, I'm pessimistic.
The problem is every city wants a new arena, ballpark, or stadium, criteria for a sports team let the arrogant owners pay for it, the average taxpayer can't afford tickets to their overpriced events anyway.
just build a stadium in Arlington Heights already. Honestly it's time, they should be allowed to move if they can. A modern stadium with quality amenities, that's a win for all of us.
Bears won’t be losing the city title like numerous teams around the league. Miami, Dallas and handful of other teams don’t play under the city they claim to play out of, same will go for the Bears. They still have the same title, Chicago Bears. I wish they can get the ball rolling with Arlington Heights already.

Whose got funds for a dead horse in the race ...
the team will get a new place to play, but if it needs to be built with public money, so be it. the stadium has to stay as a public field. chicago already lost parking revenue and skyway tolls
Yeah, you keep showing the renderings of Arlington Heights, so cool vid, but please recheck and remake when the Bears make a decision.
Arlington is not ever going to happen as a stadium. But they can built a mini one there and make even more while staying downtown.

Have Jerry pay for the White Sox stadium himself. A fair tradeoff after the shitshow of season the White Sox had

Looks like Chicago will see a Super Bowl in the city soon. About time
Gonna be built in Arlington Heights
I love this concept but believe the Bears should put it at least half the cost of the infrastructure cost as well.
Remodel the one on the site with some mayor pete funding on mass trasit to and from. Plus a dome, and you'll do just fine.
I will believe it when I see it.

Let your politicians know, don’t be quietly rolled over.
I will. What would the actual amount per taxpayer be anyway?!
Not unless they pay for it themselves.
Maybe if they start winning and get a tech company to lease the Arlington location for a data center.
Send the Bears to Anchorage
Make the owners of the Bears pay for it all!
They can't. The McCaskeys net worth less than $2B
i dont mean over seas, well besides trey,she was born abroad. shes got her visa and green card and passport
Everybody wants a piece of the pie before the recipes was even gathered. That's Chicago politics in a sense.
need to fix our highway system first.
I agree, not happening. Should be Arlington hts

Probably not going to happen, like the Lucas Museum, Southworks neighborhood and the 78 development.

this is based. support for fellow workers instead of welfare for billionaires and millionaires.
