I'll be 50 by time this is a reality.

Generation Alpha will be calling me and my people boomers because they're just as fucking stupid as the generation before them.

As long as the stadium isn't modeled after the Cyber Truck
what's wrong with the looks of cybertrucks? I prepaid for 20plus trucks to start my own business soon.

Done Deal! Retractable roof guaranteed!

And while Mayor Lori Lightfoot has said she wants to negotiate with Bears brass to keep the team on the lakefront, she has almost sounded resigned to Soldier Field losing its biggest tenant. Last month, the mayor convened a working group of prominent Chicagoans to help “re-imagine” the Museum Campus with or without the team.

“For an NFL building it means a lot more than designing it for NFL games,” David Manica told the Sun-Times in February, before his firm was announced as a partner with the Bears. “It has to be multipurpose and serve a lot of different uses for the city and the owners of the building.”

@Bust i am not sure at whom you are throwing shade. Lightfoot for trying to keep the bears at soldier field or daley jr for saddling taxpayers for 30 years to pay for the current stadium? Are you just trying to be edgy or do you want a stadium with a roof or are you just being a fucktard?

The city is going to get 90 million for breaking the lease early so perhaps those taxpayers will get compensated

duh

Somehow I don’t believe that at all. If you had pointed out that soldier field still has the smallest capacity of stadiums even after the taxpayer-renovation paid renovation n 2002, I would have believed your argument. But you’re just a humorless troll

A misreading of the headline could have had taken this discussion in a completely different direction:
"Bears Hire Metallica to Design Arlington Heights Stadium"

Exactly how I read it the first time when I quickly glanced at the title.

That Raider stadium took up 62 acres. Now that same firm with the rest of the advisors get to play with up to 330 acres with a built in train set to boot, they got to be loving the potential. It's happening boyz, 3 years . . .

She isn't going to be in office by the time this decision finally gets made.
