I will say that there's a lot of money in it for the city if you can host a super bowl, the NCAA basketball finals, the Big Ten football championship, - pmb Apr 24, 12:52 2
- The first two we might get once every 20 years. Big 10 championships would be rotated too, assuming there are still football conferences in 5 years. - The Last Of My Kind Apr 24, 13:10 1
  - There would be a lot of opportunities. More concerts. Wrestlemania, festivals etc. I'm unclear on how the ownership will work. -- nm - pmb Apr 24, 13:44
And the Soldier Field rebuild in 2003? $650 million still owed on that. The public shouldn't have to pay for another money pit. -- nm - The Last Of My Kind Apr 24, 12:49 1
- That was always going to be a money pit from day one. That stadium never made any sense. -- nm - pmb Apr 24, 12:53
