    Bears gonna have to cover the entire cost of the stadium. 3.2 billion...they offered to cover 100% in Arlington Heights

      JB is a billionaire himself so he doesn’t care. He hasn’t cared at all about the average citizen his entire political career. This is the same guy that legalized weed after building his own weed farm and unconstitutionally banned a bunch of types of guns after he built himself a gun range and store that sells those very same guns in Wisconsin…. I can go on with several other examples. Dude is a POS.

    So you want the people to pay for it, while also having throw/those same people pay for sky high ticket prices, as well as high food prices when they attend the stadium? Sounds like a sweet deal.

    According to the Bears city should abandon a perfectly functional stadium that they still owe $500 million on in order to take out billions more in debt to build a new stadium right next to it, with the justification that it can do events in the winter and bring a super bowl.
    News flash: Stadium tours are not going to come in January because they do tours in the summer. And even if one does come in January they are not coming that same year in June. There are very few acts that can fill a 70,000 seat stadium.
    A super bowl is one event that brings in about a hundred thousand people...once every 10 years or so? And the city should take in billions of debt for that?
    This whole situation is absurd. If you need a new indoor stadium so bad then go to Arlington Heights and pay taxes.

    My name is Kentitoray Adams and I believe the Chicago bears should stay the way they are. I don’t believe they should build a dome stadium nor move to a lakefront and it’s going to effect the Taxpayers of Public.
