Remember, according to Steven Moore they were moving to Arlington Heights because โ€œ Chicago has so many problems. It's the high taxes, it's the crime, it's the woke culture there that the Bears just couldn't see a future in that city.โ€

Arlington Park racecourse was a gorgeous facility at one time.

“The phrase “throw a billion dollars from the helicopter” comes from University of Chicago economist Allen Sanderson. Sanderson observed that if the intention of public stadium funding is economic growth, a more effective method would be dropping money at random from the sky.”

From what I heard about the Arlington Heights site they were stymied by local school districts, et. al. piling on for taxes.

Shame about the race track shutting down. It was a great place to spend an afternoon watching the races.

Soldier Field has so much history. Hate to see it’s demise, but everything changes.

I would feel so safe going to a game in downtown Chicago.

If they secure the space for 6 hours, so what? Don’t support it.

the team is investing over $2 billion in private money

Well, yeah, because taxes start off in private hands, before the government gets their filthy hands on it. Anyone who thinks taxpayers arenโ€™t footing all or most of the bill is delusional.

Maybe there will be some March Madness games at the domed stadium. The NFL will have the Super Bowl there once and that will be it. So probably not worth the price.

Miami, L.A., Las Vegas, New Orleans are constantly holding Super Bowls so any money you put in their stadiums, it'll pay off in the long run.

But if you build a dome in Detroit, nobody is going to want to watch the Super Bowl there. So you might as well as take advantage of the home field during the winter like they do in Green Bay and Buffalo.
