How come the Naperville Bears get to claim Chicago but I have to say I'm from the burbs?

I actually really like Naperville, it’s a guilty pleasure. Better than Arlington Heights, but still not right for the Bears. Fight me.

What do you really like about Naperville? Don't get mad, it's just a question.

All along this has been about getting the deal they want at the lakefront. The Bears can’t afford football Disneyland and they know it.

It’s cute and quaint and green and if you have to live in the area but want as little to do with the city as possible that’s one of the better choices. It’s like Fox Lake or Woodstock, but more conveniently located.

It's not so cute or quaint anymore really, but I can see what you're saying.

Nothing beats that Soldier Field skyline
The skyline view for the 3 sections that can actually see it
Its a travesty that one of the worst sports organizations in the Pittsburgh Pirates has a view that absolutely shits on this.

Baseball stadiums are bigger than NFL stadiums and most of the seats are typically behind the plate, so MLB stadiums typically have lower grandstands than NFL stadiums. Pittsburgh did a great job the highlighting the Three Sisters Bridge over the Alleghany river in their stadium. But, when the NFL broadcasts games from Soldier Field, they always get a a couple of great views looking north to downtown from the cheap seats in the south end zone and looking east over the lake...

Wrigley Field is a baseball stadium and is where my father served as an usher and the Bears played until 1971. Please don't speak about things of which you know nothing,

I believe everything I said about baseball stadiums was absolutely accurate. No matter how you cut it baseball fields are much larger than football fields, it's a math thing....The Bears moved into Soldier Field in 1970, FYI. As long as we are bringing relatives into this, my father in law was very proud of being a member of the 1948 University of Illinois national champion rifle team who were part of the Fourth of July festivities at Soldier Field. The capacity was over 110,00 back then.

You couldn’t be further off. Everyone is an outgoing alcoholic who loves to eat, drink, and have a good time. Have had tons of conversations with wealthy ass people out there over drinks…and I’m basically poor. They don’t give a ****
You’re right about the river walk though

Maybe next he can meet with the mayor of Sandwich. They have a lot of land to build on.
