Any thoughts on the Bears leaving Soldier Field?
It's been out there for a couple weeks now, but we haven't really talked about it.
I guess the team bought an old horse track or something in Arlington Heights and tried to be secretive about it. Local media caught wind and the response was, "It's good to keep our options open" The mayor gave a pretty good response, "Maybe you should worry more about beating the Packers than getting out of your Soldier Field lease." People have brought up a pretty good point. Soldier Field is iconic, but it's a tiny ass stadium, and its glory as a historic stadium kind of got shit on when they renovated it into a mutant spaceship years ago. Getting a nice big indoor place like the Vikings' new digs would allow them to host Final Fours and all that jazz, too. And at the same time, the economics are pretty clear that tax payer-funded stadiums aren't good community investments at all. They don't stimulate shit for economic growth compared to the cost of building them. |
