Say goodbye to the ponies say hello to DA BEARS

[Lughead]

I was reading today that the Bears bought  Arlington Meadows, This maybe a precursor  to a new stadium . So-long Solider field

[BlueInCanada]

So will they keep the Chicago name?

It's just outside the city. Not far from O'Hare. Arlington International Racecourse

Where are the Bears going to get the money for a $2.2 billion dollar stadium.....while they still have 12 year lease on Soldiers Field and a $100 million buyout...and a couple $10 million in fines Chicago will figure out how to put on top of that....in court?

State funding?.....Chicago owns Springfield......Cook County Funding?....Chicago owns the Cook County Board.....Arlington Heights?....good luck on a $2 billion dollar bond happening there....private investors?....$2 billion plus......the Bears are worth $2.5...$3 billion tops...might as well just buy the team.
