I would too if I were them. They’ll get it too. There’s always push back and yet every one of these except with Kroenke in LA (who I don’t believe was asking for it anyway) ends up with the public footing at least some of the bill. Expecting anything other than that to happen in AH would be incredibly naive IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBears019 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Being a 20-30 min drive from all this is exciting. I only wish this happened in my early 20s… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league has been slowly moving away from the retractable roof for the last several years. It adds significant expense, and you can do so many cool things to get natural light into the stadium these days. SoFi for example. I seriously can not wait to go to a game at this best in class stadium. The HOF is going to be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkwdw13 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Even though I don't live in Illinois anymore, I am glad the Bears are finally getting a stadium that the team needs and deserves. Soldier Field was such a disappointment and it just got more disappointing every year after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously can not wait to go to a game at this best in class stadium. The HOF is going to be amazing. To be clear, i was being literal with the “mildly” part. It would be nice to still have an open stadium for the September/early October games and some summer concerts. But i wouldn’t expect them to pay the hundreds of millions (just guessing here) to add a retractable roof for what? 3-4 games a year? And those seats will still be filled, roof or no roof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how I feel too. Having an retractable dome is nice but it's not essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A roof is a need item for me. It being able to up is a want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
