I am now believing they will build something there as they have nothing else to do with the land they bought. How they are going to pay for it, since they can't use the team for much loan collateral and the state is broke and JB is running for President makes it very interesting and concerning. It is going to be a shitshow.
Remember the AH site will be more than a stadium. It will include mixed-use development opportunities for the Bears that will generate revenue. Plus, the Bears will own the stadium. There’s no appetite among the Ds and Rs in the ILGA for a huge government incentive package. The Bears would be wise to focus on a deal with Pritzker and local officials to improve the roads and other infrastructure in the area to accommodate the project.
Get it done. The stadium back-and-forth interplay has been a stupid distraction for the team.
