Agreed. It sounds like they are willing to, too. Again, that land is already basically zoned for this. It was a horse racing track before. The air smells nice, too.

Have to do the work, though. Kev isn't doing that, and George is none the wiser.
Sounds like the competent adults have had enough. Pat Ryan is now involved with talks with Illinois.

Hope the adults remove the dome aspect.
I'd venture that there's a near 100% chance that the dome is going to be a thing.

They're gonna be looking to maximize opportunities for major events, and a controlled weather environment in a location where it gets towards nut-freezing territory for several months in a given year, is just maximizing opportunity while minimizing environmental interference.

Dome = Super Bowls, Final Fours, National Title games, concerts, etc.

He is on the board of directors and got this done with Northwestern. They're not going to Indiana, but they're not getting a free ride from tax payers. The McCaskeys don't have the money. Pat Ryan is going to have to bring in private investors, who I'm sure will be hesitant deal with this mom and pop lemonade stand of a franchise with bozo Kevin Warren leading the way.

You have Goodell and now Ryan meeting with Illinois legislators while George and Kevin are twiddling their thumbs and Indiana is sitting around totally out of the loop. It's funny.

Fire Kevin, sell the team, after you get the stadium ball rolling somehow.

100% correct. The adults actually realize this and are going to go that route because it allows for more revenue and more events. Very simple, entrepreneurial, logical plan. Taylor Swift can't play outdoors in Chicago when it's January. In an indoor stadium, you can have concerts whenever the fuck you want.

I know. I just don’t like it.

I’d rather freeze my nuts off.

Also, think the plural Super Bowl, Final Four, National Title game is ambitious. Doubt there’s several.

Idk, Lucas Oil has been in pretty regular rotation for the Final Four and St Louis used to get it regularly too. Chicago will be attractive, just not as much as SoFi or maybe even Allegiant
