Lightfoot proposes taxpayer-funded renovations for Soldier Field – Center Square

"When it comes to Soldier Field, it's no secret that we need to significantly improve the fan experience," Mayor Lori Lightfoot said. "It takes too long to get there, it's too hard to get there, and if you are on the west side of the stadium or one of the endzones, frankly, it's a crappy experience."

I remember her initial response when the news broke about the Bears looking at Arlington Heights. She went all BD Lori on the McCaskey clan. Now we have a more thoughtful LL. This version will be equally ineffective, though less offensive.

If Lori puts on the hat, tell the children to leave the room. The Cursing Cap, $19.95 from Ron Popiel. Tap the brim and the cap shrieks FOOOK YUUUUU!! Batteries never need charging! Order now, avoid future regret and disappointment. Offensive? Lori? When she walks into the room people visibly flinch! The Democratic motto; Get ‘em hotted up!

“If we want to keep the Bears within the city limits, is it time to start discussing building a new stadium for the Chicago Bears,” Davis told The Center Square. “Possibly on the Southeast side of Chicago, at the old U.S.S. sight.”

Is this satire? Or does he honestly believe the Bears organization and fans would prefer to a stadium on the SE side of Chicago over Arlington Heights?

The McCaskeys wouldn’t care if the price right! The fans and players have to travel to the Steel yards! Tuffsht! Won’t happen, the remediation would take four centuries. The area is reserved for a new prison.

The whole of Chicago is becoming a crappy experience, but she’s packing her cases and heading to Paris/London to promote businesses cough cough paid vacation. You don’t think those in Europe see what a hell hole you’re running? C’mon Lori, they’re smarter than that and smarter than you. No one wants to pack Kevlar

Could this be why the Bears are moving to Arlington Heights? The crappy experience?

“It takes too long to get there, it’s too hard to get there …”

How would remodeling Soldier Field improve those problems?

What is she thinking? Is she thinking?
