Rep. Kam Buckner: Soldier Field shuffle offers an opportunity to Chicago and the Bears – Chicago Tribune*

Soldier Field and the south parking areas, shown Dec. 5, 2023, are possible sites for a new Bears stadium."The opportunity to be bold and smart exists in full form. We can create a public-private partnership on the lakefront that works. We can be cutting-edge when it comes to the carbon footprint of a new stadium, by building a low-carbon, eco-designed stadium. We also have a chance to use this as an opportunity to finally connect our lakefront and our people through public transit solutions."

eco-designed stadium” is woke-speak for “let’s double the cost by wasting tons of money on feel-good, but useless crap”

Let’s not forget that the last Soldier Field renovation took place a mere 20 years ago and cost $632 million, with the taxpayers on the hook for $432 million. I wonder if the taxpayers are still paying on that debt. Your tax dollars at work.
From some perspective, $632 million is $1 billion in today’s government inflated dollars. What a waste of money, but that’s how the Democrats roll.
