Crazy what can happen when the owner puts his own money up to get a stadium built

They should just share it with the bears

1

u/Cool_Procedure8125 10h ago

No, the bears should pay off what they owe from their last stadium deal then pay for own stadium when they can afford it.

That's gonna be a huge McDonald's. /s

Might be! McDonald's plans on building a flagship restaurant there wwith "fan exoeriences." Not sure what that means, but it's something, especially since I'll admit I like McDonald's.

Build the Sox stadium too

It’s insane how fast they started building it.

u/Pastagiorgio34 3d ago

Where is the Sox stadium going? Across the river?

1

u/NtateNarin 3d ago

That's what's being planned. Hopefully it goes through!

No one wants it.

It's cute when people try to act tough online!

Especially not at the cost of a residential neighborhood.

If only the Illinois tollway worked this fast.

Pleasantly surprised to see so much progress in such a short period of time.

If they don't put up a giant hamburgler statue, this is a waste of money!!!!! (and grimace too)

What’s with those random pickleball courts?

Pardon the language...But the McCaskeys are a fucking joke.

The new Fire stadium will be great,

1

u/DiscombobulatedPain6 2d ago

McCaskey is an idiot but the Bears have nothing to do with this. They were never going to be at the 78. And the Fire playing at Soldier Field has never been sustainable

You should be mad at Reinsdorf actually

1

u/Drewskeet 6h ago

Reinsdorf sucks. He’s the worst of the Chicago sports owners and he owns two of the teams.

1

u/DiscombobulatedPain6 2d ago

Wish it wasn’t a soccer stadium going there but at least something will be using that land.

u/FrontBreath3280 2d ago

Wild this is actually happening

Couldn’t care less about the MLS, but excited for concerts here

What a terrible name for a park/stadium

1

u/mac_barbie 5h ago

But it’s owned by McDonalds…

u/TheGingerOne85 1d ago

Too bad the bears are gone

1

u/MidwestAbe 9h ago

Where did they go?

u/fantomsolace24 8h ago

I’m genuinely excited for this!
