The worst thing about living on the West Coast is I don't get to see a lot of Bears games. I've been reading the comments about the game although I listen to it. If you told me in July we would be 3-2 at about this point in the season I would be happy. If you told me that Justin fields would be the starting quarterback at this point I would be happy. Guys I'm happy

Kris Bryant.

horsefeathers Chucky Hopefully, Fields hangs 30+ on his shitty defense
-
Jeff Fisher era Rams probably Uh I was trying to think of a franchise that wasted good QB play. Bears 2009-2012?
-
I'm not go in goto lie, but I was concerned with Nagy

next you will try to claim that if the temperature hits the dew point, theres a good chance it will rain. you've seen it like 60000 times, right

5 man protection says otherwise

Can Lazor just once call against a good D

God I wish I could watch this
-
Please tell me it's Lazor
-
Maybe we should get Nagy a set of Dusty Dice
-
have they named QB starter for the Lions game?

It's likely at least a brownfield, if not a future superfund site. It probably hasn't been submitted for superfund status because that would put it under very strict "do not touch" guidelines. I bet the current thought is to get someone to buy it and treat it as a brownfield, clean it up, and redevelop it instead. That's prolly why it isn't a superfund, but the sheer cost of cleaning up 400 acres would preclude a lot of development, including the Bears stadium

I don't give a horsefeathers what advanced stats say, the cubs are gonna suck for a while so I'd rather see him doing insane slides/tags in cubby blue. even if he can't because of advanced age, I still want him back in Cubbie blue. guess I'm a homer, but as tree once said "...that's the way sports work!!"
-
i'd love to see the Bears build this because there is a fair chance I could get to work on it/be part of it.

Memphis BBQ is overrated. look at this guy
-
a museum to what exactly? pain? suffering? long, unending and unfilled promises of a decent offense and broken dreams? (actually, I was thinking the same thing, expand Grant Park or make a new park with room for the Field Museum to expand)
-
Well in that mackup they ran over a bunch of the actual AP property. It's more L shaped, not a trapezoid. Basically that bottom left corner you have to exclude. But yea it's a huge property and can fit so much. The actual stadium all the way to the exterior walls should fit inside the racetrack basically. So you're saying we can build the stadium and still keep the historic Arlington Park grandstand so future generations can appreciate the history? you could almost build TWO stadiums inside the trackway and race horses around them during halftime
-
Oh if there's enough space in the existing Arlington Park footprint then never mind me, I was mostly thinking of the surrounding streets.

But yea it's a huge property and can fit so much. The actual stadium all the way to the exterior walls should fit inside the racetrack basically. "they"? thats MY work, chummmp point taken

I think its big enough to develop with shopping, housing, etc to be a viable long term development money wise. It's not what I would like to see in terms of inner-city development, but it sounds like the City of Chicago just isn't going to pony up what the Bears really want
-
If there's enough space(IIRC there's not a ton but it's been 6 years since I lived in that area), you'd still need to get some more events/tenants to justify that, right? 10 Bears games a year wouldn't sustain those businesses I would think, and Arlington Park was a higher foot traffic baseline than an empty lot. the Arlignton site is 326 acres, there is more then enough room. for comparison, here is Foxborough including the shopping areas (outlined in red) over the Arlington site (unofficial 1000' google meter comparison): laptop resolution check

It's the Lions. They'll beat them but it will be the type of game where the Bears win, but no one is reassured they have anything figured out.
