April 19, 20169 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 18, 2016 -> 06:16 PM) Can you post article? Sounds like we're getting screwed That is when the stadium debt is supposed to be paid off.
April 19, 20169 yr QUOTE (lord chas @ Apr 18, 2016 -> 07:51 PM) Borrow $1.2 billion for a science fiction museum? No thanks It's not a science fiction museum, but it should bring in a lot of revenue and tourist to the city.
April 19, 20169 yr I liked the idea better when they tore up a parking lot to put in a museum a rich guy was paying for completely.

April 19, 20169 yr If Lucas wants to build this absurd concrete love letter to himself, then he can spend his own 1.2B dollars
April 19, 20169 yr They want taxpayers to front the $1 billion museum (that won't even house Star Wars artifacts), good f***ing luck with that.
April 19, 20169 yr 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.

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

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.
