Given the political climate and the resentment of the average citizen over a number of things today, unless the Bears can somehow (along with the White Sox) bridge a very sizable divide, I simply can not see the public going along with this. Politicians are concerned about one thing only, their asses, they want to get reelected. If the public backlash is strong enough they simply will not agree to giving the teams basically a blank check. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted Wednesday at 06:17 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:17 AM The Jacksonville Jaguars' "Stadium of the Future" is a go, as the franchise and city came to an agreement on a $1.4 billion project on Tuesday. The proposal will see each side contribute $625 million to the project and Jacksonville would chip in another $150 million to get EverBank Stadium ready for construction beginning in 2026. The team will also not include any new taxes to pay for the rebuild. Now that the plan was presented to a city council on Tuesday, members are slated to vote on it in June with a majority of 19 members needed to pass. Then, it would advance to the NFL owners meeting in October where they'd need 24 of 32 votes to reach final approval. With construction set to begin after the 2025 season, the Jaguars would play in front of a reduced capacity crowd in 2026 and then host home games in either Gainesville or Orlando in 2027. The updated look of EverBank Stadium was revealed last summer, representing the next step in the team's efforts to transform downtown Jacksonville. The Jaguars plan to make the stadium four times as wide as the current one with interactive social areas and food local to the city. The stadium will include state of the art technology and a shade canopy to reduce heat retention by 70%. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/jaguars-city-of-jacksonville-agree-on-1-4-billion-stadium-of-the-future/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falstaff Posted Wednesday at 12:23 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:23 PM Why was AEW's Tony Khan wearing a neck brace during the 2024 NFL Draft? (jacksonville.com) The son of the Jaguars owner is a hoot, he did an interview the next day and kept promoting his wrestling company. Tony Khan needs to get a few billion from his dad and buy the White Sox.🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was always trying to call out Vince McMahon and the WWE in the past, even though their ratings destroy his for AEW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO!!MARY!!! Posted yesterday at 10:48 AM Share Posted yesterday at 10:48 AM On 4/24/2024 at 9:06 AM, Falstaff said: Here is what I would like to see happen. Reinsdorf moves the ML & all the Minor League teams and personnel to Nashville and renames the ML team. The Chicago White Sox name and franchise history stays in Chicago with the new expansion owner of the club. It would be similar to what the Cleveland Browns did. An expansion team will not happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 1 in a million really did happen and the White Sox left Chicago, making them leave behind the name and history makes sense because teams will be fist fighting to get into Chicago for a chance at that market. Whether it is expansion or move, it would happen and happen quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
