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.

Agreed. It’s time for Mahomes to get the Chiefs a shiny new stadium with retractable roof.

Chicago is a top 5 city?

Top 5 in what? Crime? High taxes and costs of living? People leaving the city?

Chicago ****ing sucks man. My entire mom's side of the family lives up north side right off Sheridan and Lake Shore Dr area. Just a little north of Wrigley. After about 2 days I'm ready to gtfo.

**** that place.

Chicago is awesome... probably won't ever live there due to the weather and typical big city problems, but there's a ton of great things to do, beer to drink, shows to catch.

Never been to CoMo's mom's place though, sounds like it's a shithole and should pass on it.

No indoor stadium. Part of the Bears legacy is the weather...

Objectively, 5 million a year is chump change to an NFL team, probably even the McCaskeys.

Some teams spend twice that much just on fines from the NFL for their work place environment.

Yep, when we retired from the area 7 years ago it felt like we had escaped prison. Not sure how Frazod deals with it.
