I don't think there should be a new tax paid for by the people that helps fund the stadium, but if AH wants to cut the Bears a break on property tax or sales tax collected, they should have the option to do so. No different than giving such a break to a new retail store or bar that opens up in town.

Check out the Bills’ new deal when you get a chance.

I suspect the eventual AH deal is going to dwarf that one.

Bills don't even play in Buffalo, so the team should go down the tubes. Nobody is supposed to care about them. Or so I've been told.

Wrong. The Bears would generate millions of dollars in revenue for Arlington Heights and nearby communities. It's not unreasonable to ask the city that will benefit the most to be a partner.

Most studies say the benefits never outweigh the costs of the subsidies.

Yeah, all the Japanese businessmen and In This House families who live in Arlington Heights are like "GOD if we could just have a place for monster trucks..."

_________________

Really doesn't matter what they think, the Monster Truck shows fill dates for the venue and even though the rather arrogant citizens of the rapidly decaying city known as Chicago will never admit it, there are plenty of goofs that love their Monster Truck shows that live within a few hour drive.

The sports book/casino option is likely more realistic as it would bring in a steady stream of money throughout the year, but make no mistake my isolated friend, for every one of you there are 10 tatted up white boys in Rockford that dropped out of East High in 10th grade that love that there Monster Truck stuff.

The thing you seem to be missing is that it's replacing a declining horse track and not a forest preserve. Anyone who moved to Arlington Park after 1927 shouldn't really have much of an issue with a sports venue being close to them.

Let's be honest. If you are a true Bears fan you will not only follow them to Arlington Heights but you will move to Arlington Heights with them. Is Nas a true Bears fan?

Chicago teams play in Chicago just like He wanted. I may glance at the television on Sundays, but the Chicago Bears, brought to you by Arlington Heights, won't have my heart.

As someone who doesn't live in Illinois I feel personally attacked by your opinions.

You lived in a city whose football teams played in another state. That can damage a man. I still love you though.

I've been using a similar line; I live less than a mile from AP and hope to remain upright and healthy enough to walk to games if/when the thing is built. And If I can't walk I'll buy a golf cart and have the neighbor kids drive me

Yep. And good for Bears ownership that they actually came to their senses and realized this!

Over time the Bears would have lost a helluva lot of support had they moved to Arlington Heights. Great to see that they came to their senses.
