State willing to help Bears with new stadium at Michael Reese site, Speaker Welch says | FOX 32 Chicago

I don't understand why Illinois is bothering with this. Like New York and Los Angeles, the NFL needs Chicago more than Chicago needs the NFL. What will they do, move the team to some much smaller city like St Louis? The Bears haven't even given the city a Super Bowl in nearly 40 years.

It's more winter outdoor conditions and which city the NFL stakeholders prefer to spend the SB fortnight.

It's why we see so many games in Miami and New Orleans.

Minnie and Detroit get their SBs as part of a promise incorporated into the financing deal.

I have thought Chicago could easily accommodate two NBA teams. Has it been long enough since the 90s that another team could get oxygen alongside the Bulls? Won't happen though, they have three candidates for two potential expansion spots already.
