No thanks It's not a science fiction museum, but it should bring in a lot of revenue and tourist to the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokpelts Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I liked the idea better when they tore up a parking lot to put in a museum a rich guy was paying for completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 If Lucas wants to build this absurd concrete love letter to himself, then he can spend his own 1.2B dollars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunt Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 They want taxpayers to front the $1 billion museum (that won't even house Star Wars artifacts), good f***ing luck with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 The taxpayers got screwed on the new CF scoreboard. There was a big green dot in the middle of it last night. Falling apart 3 games in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to ignore it myself, but I couldn't, just focused right on it. Of course it didn't help it was pretty much center cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the other museums get similar land deals, but the cost of construction plus the endowment basically meant free museum. And when you consider the Bears get MORE PARKING and other concessions, it was a virtual win win. This just screams rahm bulls*** now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just screams rahm bulls*** now I mean, it's a bad deal, but it's not his fault that the friends of the lake sued over the previous option.
