Red Wolf Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I say we keep layering on ruinous renovations of Soldier Field. Just every few decades make it even dumber and uglier. That can be its new legacy. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorWhom Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 So they want to further mangle the stadium that already got stripped of its historic locations status for renovations that added less seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set up some summer 3-day concerts with Dave Matthews, Phish, Dead & Co., Luke Bryan. etc. and you make an easy million+ each weekend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that they hosted a handful of Notre Dame Games and one Army Navy Game. Sure the original design was nice but that was badgered.

So yeah, It is historic. But the renovations have absolutely butchered the stadium, which is why it got removed from the Historic locations.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Lightfoot is going to be the reason why downtown Chicago will be in a :censored:ty state for years to come whilst the Bears get to experience the highs of Arlington.... heck even the NFL wants the Bears in Arlington Heights 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Comet Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 (edited) Seems like the lady with a hairline that’s receded more than my Dad’s is doing as good of a job as she can to try and keep the team but the increasing crime around Soldier Field really is not helping. Businesses and fans have been complaining more than usual lately but that’s just how things roll, I guess. That and not many teams are going to pass up a new stadium if the opportunity arises.  Okay, real talk, Lori Lightfoot looks she grew up in Innsmouth.

Digby Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 The Bears have an opportunity to control their stadium and build a mall full of Sweetgreen and Fabletics outlets next to it. They'll never get that at Soldier Field, regardless of who the mayor is or what political pearl-clutching is going on. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
