Aaron Rodgers wants to become a stadium when he retires?

Well I don't think he would become Jeopardy host, so why not? .

While he was pretty good by the end of his guest hosting stint, there have been been guests hosts

Rodgers should start his own breakaway Wisconsin football team

Mayor of Chicago suburb says Bears moving is “on the table”

Posted by Michael David Smith on June 15, 2021, 6:54 AM EDT


The mayor of a Chicago suburb is continuing to make noise about the Bears moving to his city.

Arlington Heights Mayor Tom Hayes said a new stadium for the Bears could be built on the current site of the Arlington Park race track, located about 30 miles from Soldier Field. Arlington Park is for sale and is expected to be demolished and redeveloped by its next owner.

“It’s still on the table, to my understanding, but it’s a complete, definite ‘maybe,'” Hayes said of the Bears moving, via the Daily Herald. “I’m not in a position where I could say it’s a definite ‘go’ or definite ‘no go.'”

The Bears have stayed mum about the possibility as speculation has raged in the Chicago area. When teams don’t want to talk about their stadium plans, that often means they want to use another potential venue as leverage to get a better deal at their current venue.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has acknowledged that the Bears have valid concerns about Soldier Field, but the Bears’ lease with the city to play at Soldier Field runs through 2033 and Lightfoot said she is confident the Bears won’t move, and that the NFL wouldn’t let them if they tried.

After submitting bid to buy racetrack, Bears announce sponsorship deal with racetrack’s owner

Posted by Charean Williams on June 22, 2021, 7:15 PM EDT


Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot last week dismissed the Bears’ bid to buy Arlington International Racecourse as a stadium negotiating ploy. It might be time for her to take the Bears’ potential move to the suburbs seriously.

Only days after submitting their Arlington Park bid, the Bears on Tuesday announced a sponsorship deal with the racetrack’s owner and Rivers Casino. A minority owner and principal operator of the casinos is Neil Bluhm, a minority owner of the Bulls and White Sox and one of the richest men in Chicago, according to Hub Arkush of Shaw Media.

Arkush speculates the McCaskey family could partner with Bluhm and Churchill Downs to build a new stadium in Arlington Heights, which is about 30 miles from Soldier Field.
The four-paragraph news release does not mention the Bears’ announcement last Thursday about the team’s bid for the 326-acre racetrack property. But the sponsorship deal connects some dots, showing the sides have had talks.

A Bears spokeswoman declined to answer the Daily Herald‘s question about whether negotiations over a Rivers sponsorship deal began before, after, or were concurrent with discussions about the team’s interest in Arlington Park.

“We are incredibly excited to announce BetRivers and Rivers Casino as our first multiyear exclusive partner in the Sportsbook and Casino categories,” Bears CEO Ted Phillips said in the announcement. “We look forward to connecting with our fans in fun and unique ways through these avenues and couldn’t be prouder to be building this relationship with a hometown company.”

Traditionally a staple in Indianapolis, the NFL's annual scouting combine will shift over to a bid process in which all NFL cities can submit a proposal to host the event beginning in 2023, a source told ESPN.

Im still sad the draft isn't at Radio City in NY anymore, but a lot of that had to do with James Dolan being a inflexible wanktard. He's gotta be the dumbest billionaire going round.

Bears just posturing you reckon? I agree, we're very traditional and would stay at Soldier imo.

What is wrong with Soldier Field? Does the team want taxpayers to pay for a new stadium?
—-
Not only to pay for a new stadium but to finance the profits, too. The Bears lease use of Soldier Field from the city, so they don’t own it; the Arlington Heights site offers the chance to own and develop the land, presumably as a complex like the Patriots, 49ers, Rams, have. It’s a real estate investment more than a stadium.
