The irony of Chicago’s football team playing in Naperville would be tremendous

I’m just happy for long-suffering Napervillians who’ll no longer be spat upon by their Chicagoan friends.

If the Bears end up out there, it would be the biggest development in Iowa football since Hayden Fry and Chuck Long defeated Bo Schembechler and John Harbaugh's brother without scoring a single TD.

Build it on Naper Settlement to the Riverwalk.

Are you kidding? His move would be to tax the players 20% of each game check they receive for playing at Soldier Field.

He's counting heads. Wants to expand NFL rosters.

I think we all expected the Bears to get away with it. I'm glad they didn't.

That wasn't fair market value when the land was generating revenue.

It was assessed at a recent sale price. How better to determine fair market value?

They had just assessed the property at a lower rate before it was a field of dreams. If you tear your house down, your tax bill for a vacant lot will be substantially less than it is now.

Warren should’ve torn out the toilets.

Just wait.

Aren't you happy they are moving though? Sports stadiums are terrible for cities. We need to preserve the lakefront.

The Bears should sell it to someone else for a dollar then and then sign a 99 year lease.

Why don't they wait to raise taxes until after the stadium is built like Rockford does to home builders

The city also can use the old stadium as a shining example for resettling illegal aliens and truly make Chicago a welcoming SANCTUARY CITY. Maybe appoint Jesse Smollet as the police chief/janitor while they are at it?
