Are you saying the Bears ownership didn't like this presentation? Or, one for Arlington Heights? Moving the Bears there would be very bad, in my opinion. Soldier field is historic. They ruined it though with their last renovation. This, however, would completely transform it into something special. I believe that was the city's presentation to the Bears ownership (I originally saw the video on IG, so maybe that's not right). My understanding is the whole thing hinges on giving the Bears ownership of the stadium and not the city. 1 Quote Link to comment

OK Bears, if you want to own it, put up the money? So often, the city does something like this only to have the franchise move out of the city. Quote Link to comment

The city will build it, give it to the Bears for them to make a ton of money on.....15 years from now, the Bears will cry that it's outdated and ask the city to fork over the money to do a billion dollar project again. 1 Quote Link to comment

So often, the city does something like this only to have the franchise move out of the city. It's incredibly frustrating and disheartening to see pro franchise hold their own cities hostage and operate with absolutely zero care for the city or the fans. A lot of the time it's even in a situation where the stadium they have is still a nice, perfectly adequate and quality stadium. In an ideal world you wouldn't be able to claim the name of a city if you go out and ransom suburban taxpayers to build your stadium 20 miles away from the actual city. Quote Link to comment
Archy1221 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 It’s amazing people continually fail upward. Kevin Warren just looks to be the latest example. 3 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Yeah for years I've been thinking "the only missing piece for the Chicago Bears is Kevin Warren... Man, if we only had that guy" 2 Quote Link to comment
