I think you are assuming they are more stuck than they are. Land is an investment. It only goes up in value. If they don't want to wait, they could just build houses or condos there and triple their return.

They own a billion dollar franchise. They can easily find a way to take out a low interest loan if they absolutely have to. But they won't have to because they will get tax breaks because that is how this works. This is all a part of the negotiation process.

They'll probably just bribe enough people to get a handout but that isn't a house you just flip if it doesn't work out. It's a weird piece of land in a suburb with only a handful of buyers. And if Arlington Heights wants to play hardball, they can refuse to re-zone it for residential properties or whatever else it would be sold for.

Anyway, gently caress the McCaskeys. They've never worked a day in their life and gotten handout after handout while turning the Bears into one of the worst franchises in football. If they don't like the taxes, sell the loving team. I'm so tired of that family begging for handouts.

Also where in Naperville would they even put a stadium? It's pretty dense and traffic is already bad. And if they think they're going to get a better price on land in Naperville over Arlington Heights, they're in for a shock.

If you really want to stick it to Green Bay, put your money where your mouth is and build the stadium in Kenosha. Or buy out and demolish the Mount Pleasant Foxconn building.

Make them move to Decatur and change their name back to the Staleys. Then give Chicago an expansion team called the Bears.

Microsoft just purchased a huge plot of land next to the Foxconn site for a massive data center, so the Bears ownership better get in there quick!

The Bears are not solely owned by the McCaskeys, like 20% is owned by Pat Ryan who is worth over 9 Billion by himself. I have to assume based on the Commanders sale looking to be around $6billion, a internationally popular football team in a top 3 market in a state with legal gambling and an off track betting license attached to a property that they are about invest another $4billion into, would put the teams value at $10+ billion. Maybe I’m way off, but if i’m capable of financing that for them i am 100% financing that for them. Point being, they are not going to have any trouble paying for all of this.
