Chicago is a garbage city run by garbage people. It deserves a garbage football team. But even more, it deserves to lose an NFL franchise. The reason actual Bears fans are thrilled is because there is no such thing as Chicago anymore. There is: 1. A drug- and gun-infested wasteland; snd 2. A yuppie playground wherein people play pretend Brooklyn. Chicago - the Bears’ Chicago - is over.

Nobody wants to talk about the demise of arguably the most beautiful racetrack in the country? They're passing laws all over that ban talking about race. We're just falling in line.

Arlington Heights actually makes more sense for the Bears.
And, I don't see it as a big loss for the City of Chicago either.

From the NBC story: "The city's mayoral committee released a rough outline of renovations they want to make to the field and the museum campus surrounding it, including a dome for the field." Because it's not enough to have ruined "historic Soldier Field" with the spaceship renovation of 20 years ago.

I can't think of anything that would turn off Bears fans more than pitting a dome on that stadium.
That's what happens when you have a bunch of fucking morons running the city.

Good. The people running that shithole deserve to be embarrassed.

I don't see the Super Bowl of Final Four coming to the Chicago suburbs. For the first time, the Chicago Bears confirmed Tuesday that the stadium the team is considering building in Arlington Heights would be domed — but the team also called for taxpayer funding of a portion of the project, and noted the plan was still tentative.
The Bears’ released illustrations of the proposed project, and a statement that was the most detailed yet on its proposal to buy Arlington International Racecourse. It said the stadium would be a “best-in-class enclosed stadium, providing Chicagoland with a new home worthy of hosting global events such as the Super Bowl, College Football Playoffs, and Final Four.”
The 326-acre development would also include restaurants, office spaces, a hotel, fitness center, new parks and open spaces.
The team estimated that construction of the proposed project would create 48,000 jobs, a $9.4 billion economic impact for Chicagoland, and $1.4 billion in annual economic impact. The team would not seek taxpayer help to build the stadium, but given the economic impact, would seek public funding for the rest of the project.
“We remain under contract to purchase the property, but there are conditions that must be met in order to be in a position to close,” the team wrote in the statement. “If we do close on the property, it does not guarantee we will develop it.”
The illustrations released Tuesday show a map that indicates that the stadium would be along Route 53 and the Metra commuter tracks. A mixed-used district would be southeast of the stadium.
Two other illustrations show aerial images of the complex, which would include many buildings along with the stadium.www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-chicago-bears-new-stadium-plans-arlington-heights-20220906-gziy3irinfcxvjd2jwymqo4hxe-story.html

They've played them in Arlington, Texas, the swamps of New Jersey and all sorts of suburban locations.
