Funny how most commenting have no clue how stadiums work. Jerry Jones doesnt own the Cowboys stadium. The City of Arlington does. The vast majority of stadiums in the NFL are publicly owned for the simple reason they are costly to maintain for the other 350 days a year they are not holding events.
Said from the start downtown Chicago made the most sense. It is absolutely crazy for anyone to lend the McCaskey's the $5 billion + it would take to build Arlington when they have limited to no real estate development experience.
What do NFL teams pay in rent? How much did their stadiums cost to build? We have the details.

4 teams own their stadium. 5 if you add in that the Rams stadium is owned bt Kroenke Sports. People legit crying because Bears are doing what 27 out of 32 NFL teams have done.
