Pritzker’s Change Of Heart Signals Chicago Bears Have Upper Hand In Stadium Talks

The Chicago Bears have been trying for three years to gain traction in their efforts to secure funding from the Illinois government for a new stadium. For three years, Governor J.B. Pritzker has been adamant that the organization should take care of the funding itself. These are literal billionaires who intend to build what amounts to a vanity project. Pritzker doesn’t see how any of that benefits the taxpayers. So he maintained a hardline stance, telling the Bears to go it alone.

It appears things have shifted.
