Chicago stadium project - NFL owners discussing/voting today

[didshereallysaythat]

The thing that always annoyed me about Soldier Field after the renovation was the capacity was reduced. The Bears have one of the biggest fanbases in the NFL and you made the stadium smaller. Brilliant!

Move them to Comisky. It's too big for baseball.

White Sox rarely sellout because their fans don't support the team unless they are amazing. Even then, they don't show up until the playoffs unless they are playing the Cubs.

I really don't see this as a right vs left argument. In fact I bet the so called fiscal conservatives, support public stadiums.

"Fiscally conservative" translation: "It's only okay to spend money if it benefits the super-rich or some special-interest that I benefit from."

 

[Alpha Male]

The whole idea of these businesses being funded by the public is ludicrous... But there is nothing that anyone can do about it.

No actually there is something that can be done. Just stop funding stadiums. Simple as that.

 

[Alpha Male]

No its becase the stadiums are owned partially by the public, not the teams. How else would the public fund the purchase of any real estate? Taxes

You let the Bears walk, it's a bad economic deal. That's why almost every city does it eventually

Chicago is big enough where someone else will come in.

Probably small unless they have to move to champaign for a year.

Well admittedly I was last there in 2015, but I didn't find it that bad?

It's typically the left that's obsessed with the "super-rich". I don't feel oppressed by the rich. The oppression comes from the State and the bureaucrats who wield power within the State. No rich person is coming to my house to take my money. The State is doing that.

So you're poor and blaming others. Okayyyyyyyyyyy

A dome and the mesh grass/turf Denver and GB uses. Artifiia turf has come a long way since the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

You're projecting; what do you think you're doing with all your rhetoric against "the rich".


I'm just being honest, I don't feel oppressed by the rich. Oppression comes from the State

your feeling oppressed has nothing to do with me projecting anything.

 

[PickSix]

Making it bigger and retrofitting a roof will be one hell of a renovation. Get’r done.

 

[Zion]

You're clearly projecting when you accuse me of blaming others for my being poor. You blame the rich for your being poor. An inability or unwillingness to recognize one's own hypocrisy is a bad quality in a person. Work on that.

They should make it extremely small. A 15 yard long field and an extremely low roof requiring us to "Rick moranis" all players and staff.
