LOL! I think we're closer than we know. I'm just terribly cynical about waste and fraud from everyone with their hand in our pocket by force of law. But I'm a turnip so they can't get my blood anymore.
Nah, I love a lot of folks I disagree with Like my entire extended family outside of my wife and kids
The Bears are saying they will invest 2 billion to build the stadium in the Chicago area. That’s pretty significant in my opinion. How old is the current stadium?
I'm not concerned with the investment of the owners. I'm concerned with the investment AND obligations of the TAXPAYERS. For far too long, politicians have accepted over optimistic projections of revenue from developers at best and more likely simply unconcerned when their palms were greased which is far more likely.
Tully Stadium? Did you know the Vikings practiced there back when the Super Bowl was played at Rice Stadium? I wasn’t born for another 4 months or so, but my brother tells stories about going to watch them practice.
I did not know that. Dad and I went and watched many a random HS game at Tully. He taught me to drive in that parking lot. Did you know me and a couple of buddies did workouts there, with our dads as coaches. I have kicked a barefoot 30yd FG on exactly 2 fields: Tully and Rice Stadium. I was young and sober for the first one, the 2nd one took me 4 tries
I’m not all aboard for the building of a new stadium, but is building a new NFL, or any sports stadium, really that wasteful compared to the other bullshit government hemorrhages?
