The stadium is a work of art. It is obvious that many hours of thought and design went into it.Meanwhile, Ishbia employed a different, protracted and flawed process in his attempt to move the White Sox from the Southside to the "Railyards" What a joke..the Railyards? How about White Sox Park ? No matter, the concept is fundamentally flawed anyway.Did Ishbia already build this "rushed" stadium project? Is it complete? Are they done putting "hours of thought and design" into it?"Railyards" is a great name for the concept/vision of what is to come! Which at this point it still is a concept...there is no official name...what is a joke about that? I don't mind you being against the project...you are entitled to your views/opinions. But the way you present your feelings seems...straight out of middle school!

4 hours ago4 hr If Warren got that bill killed by involving Chicago, I don’t see how they can keep him around. At this point the tariff effect has to have increased costs for literally everything going forward to a point that Warren is a massive liability now.

All these ultimatums and deadlines and they still haven't signed on the dotted line with Indiana despite $1B in Hoosier taxpayer money sitting on the table. Also interesting that this is twice now in the last few months that Goodell is getting involved and talking to IL officials. Kevin Warren was brought on 3 1/2 years ago and there's still no stadium deal. If he was the one secretly meeting with Chicago officials in the spring and thus allowing the mayor to derail the spring session legislative push, then he should be fired.

I think he knew this though and that's why he hired Warren to run the project since the Vikings stadium went so well. Turns out dealing with Illinois and Chicago government is a hell of a lot more difficult than Minnesota was who bent over backwards for the Vikings. Also turned out that Warren been an incompetent moron every step of the way.

Beautiful evening and terrific shots of the city's world-class skyline on network TV. Games like this serve as great advertisement for Chicago.Of course, last week's game vs. Minnesota made many people think the Bears can't move into a dome fast enough.FWIW, I went up to the beach today in Michigan City and got this picture from our Zoo. Hammond is about half as far to Chicago.
20 minutes ago20 min Pretty incredible that Warren has somehow managed to do LESS THAN nothing.Him doing nothing would have the Bears in a better position than they’re in now.Dude did worse than zero, which is almost impressive.
