Soldier Field is good enough. The rent is cheap, and the city will renew the lease. Kevin Warren is completely incompetent and should be fired. Too bad he just bought a house.
If you are looking at the stadium as a CEO and CFO – there is nothing in Illinois to make you stay here. The sheer incompetence of illinois legislature would make the Indiana move the clear choice. If they can’t make that call, they deserve all the hell coming to them by staying in the dysfunctional utopia called Illinois.
