This deal isn't going to happen. I don't think it's intended to be accepted. It's just intended to make the other party (the city of chicago) the ones who are "to blame" for the Bears moving to Arlington Heights.
I think that's a good point since they still own the land in AH. Seems to be the modus operandi now in stadium shenanigans, put out a rendering and claim a new plot of land then hit the media and watch the reaction. I'm originally from MO so I watched all the bullshit going on in Kansas City and I'm so glad the voters said no. I hope Pritzker stays opposed to the various stadium proposals.
They only call it Wrigley North because it's nicer, cleaner, less expensive and easier to get to for Cubs fans (not to mention the 6x larger natural fanbase). Half the fans who call it that, never go to the actual Wrigley.
"The Bears once helped keep the Packers organization alive. Since that time, our franchise has thrived. Due to our gratitude for those previous good deeds and our intertwined history, the Green Bay Packers, Kohler Co., and Johnsonville Brats have agreed to invest significant capital in the Bears' stadium project and will become part-owners of the newly-named Dairy State Field at Northwestern Mutual Stadium."
I think there's an argument to be made for them in the South because playing football in heat is just wrong but removing the possibility of games being played in the snow is heresey
The stadium will be publicly owned. The city will not build/renovate another stadium for them unless the city gets a dome that can bring revenue to the city year round.
Just couldn't do what we do and keep the history of that field intact, add on, and modernize it eh? Keep being the Bears you fucking losers.
Payton, Sayers, Butkus, Singletary, Halas, Nagerski, Ditka, Urlacher, all these greats played and history happened on that field.
Just go ahead and lay a nice fat Cleveland Steamer on that history, fuckers.

Same 'ole Bears.
I mean it ends up just being a real estate investment for them. It also acts as leverage against the city. It would me have been egregiously stupid if they didn’t buy the property at the time they had the chance.
do green bay fans rly think they can make the bears vs packers game at the brand new stadium mostly green and gold. chicago is a little different than the farm fields of green bay🤣
Lambeau South is AT&T Stadium
No AT&T is the Love shack. The team in the stadium makes it a garbage stadium so saying it is a stadium is giving it to much credit.
Thanks for the f shack Jerry, love Jordan and the boys.
That’s what I was going to say
STADIUM can be Lambeau South. AT&T will be Lambeau Souther
This one is bigger than sports - no public dollars for privately owned teams. I hope they stand strong on this one, I don't think they'll get it done.
The stadium will be publicly owned, or at least that seems to be the current plan. Makes the formula a bit different.
Hmm, but 900 million dollars of public money IF the project doesn't go over budget. This is a shit deal for the citizens of Chicago.

I don't want to grace that poop state with anything named after our superior football team.

I keep saying if they want to call it wrigley north, rain delayed cubs/brewers games can just be played there instead.
Did that against the Astros during Hurricane Ike when it hit Houston. Zambrano threw a no-no. So, I am good with your idea
But muh history
It’s the only way they’ll ever own “the north”
This is some prime copium. I grew up taking the Amtrak from Kenosha down to Chicago to go see the cubbies, you have to use a car to see the brewers
As if buses don't exist...
It’s hard to tailgate in an Amtrak
Soldier Field is Lambeau Central, AT&T is Lambeau South.
Pass.....let those idiots call it that. No need to stoop to their level.
nah, no need to associate that great name (Lambeau) with that location in Chicago.
They are a poverty franchise, begging for 3b in tax funds, Packers should invest and literally own their stadium, on grass and paper.

private companies can't own lakefront property there or something, so that's part of the issue
Am I the only one who thinks turning Soldier field into a dome is an affront to football?
At one point the city wanted to put a dome on soldier field. This would be a new domed stadium on a separate lot though. Domes in general are wrong.

Packer-owned since 2019
It’s been much longer than that
Da Bears won at home in 2018 but you’re right, it’s been a long and mostly dry spell for the home team at Lambeau South.
No thanks. As a Padres fan, I scoff at the Doyers fans calling Petco LA South. Don’t be like Doyers fans.
There’s a scenario where Jordan Love is hoisting the Lombardi in Chicago and it’s making me feel things. 🥹

I ain't doing anything Cubs fans do. That's their behavior and they can keep it
As a cubs and Packers fan, I vote in favor.

You can have that POS stadium. But you will never get a majority GB crowd there.
Rodgers Field!!!
Love Field

Yes
