Mr. WEO Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 3 hours ago, billsfanmiamioh said: Ever spent time around the burbs of Chicago? It’s a PITA to get into the city. I used to spend a lot of time in the outskirts of the city and I think a huge number of Bears fans would welcome the proposed venue. And I think it would draw year round (throw a top golf nearby, etc) More than half the population of the county lives in Chicago. The folks in northern Cook County and parts west may check out the complex in the off season, but not sure what the big draw would be. A concert here and there. Chain restaurants? A movie theater? Plus it would need massive public funding. If the team is paying for the stadium, it's hard to imagine what incentive the County or state would have to pitch in for this speculative complex.

MiltonWaddams Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 At this point, just copy Minnesota’s stadium and make the windows reflect blue and red on the outside instead of black and call it a day. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One will be an NFL stadium and the other will be a non-nfl stadium and then it will switch. He won’t own either he doesn’t own the Ralph , Erie county does and NYS will own the new one 17 hours ago, Jauronimo said: I was looking through the stadium plans and then it clicked: can El Pegual really own TWO NFL stadiums at the same time (Highmark and the new one)? I know its in the same market but it seems like its playing fast and loose with league bylaws. I know this question came up a lot when he bought the team and no one really knew the answer. He doesn’t even own one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what stadium renderings have to do with the deal being finalized, but if that is the case, you would think he would have had the smarts to say…renderings will be made public as soon as the deal with the state and county is finalized.

Meh, the politicians already got what they wanted and cut the check. And PSE won't really feel bound to some community involvement--- Why would they? It's a for-show comment.

Speaking as an architect, it's always a dance when public funds are involved. On the one hand, believe it or not, you don't want the renderings to look too nice because some people are bound to say "We're paying for THAT?" On the other hand you want the renderings to look really nice because you'd like people to say "That looks like a really great use of public funds." So....yes, there may indeed be an actual connection between the release of these images and the finalizing of the financial deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
