Didya want to stay on Chicago's lakefront? Have I got a deal for you!! Old US Steel South Works.

LOLOL. Someone said Hammond had problems with pollution... LOLOLOL.

----------------------

As the Chicago Bears contemplate their next move in the franchise’s ongoing stadium saga, two new suitors have stepped up to pitch themselves as future homes for a new Bears stadium.

One is on Chicago’s Southeast Side, while the other is in McCook — Cook County’s smallest municipality, situated along the Des Plaines River in the southwest suburbs.

The patch of property within city limits lies near South 85th Street and DuSable Lake Shore Drive, formerly known as the U.S. Steel South Works Site, and major investments are already being made on that specific plot of land in the South Chicago neighborhood...

If you thought that Soldier Field was a teeny bit hard to access by car: you ain't seen nothin' yet.

pollution PLUS being like a mile from Terror Town!*

Lot of reporting that the Bears are working on new Illinois legislation the last few days

That they’ve been much more forthright with their desires and are working to craft legislation instead of solely relying on Springfield to figure it out.

Yesterday Politico reported that legislation could be announced as early as tomorrow and JB stated today he’s open to calling a special session to pass a Bears bill.

who would be paying for that stadium? and who would be getting the revenue from events?

I doubt McCook as the financial resources to pay for a multi-billion dollar stadium all by themselves

Why do you hate me, Sammich?

I have lived in Chicagoland my entire life and still get surprised by burbs I've never heard of.

Had never heard of McCook before and was surprised to see that it isn't some far flung burb.

At least they did for quite a while...

McCook was kinda a "no holds barred" type of town. Not exactly family-oriented. But that was a long time ago.

(Looked it up: never had more than 500 people living inside city limits.)

Don't feel bad, I grew up less than 5 miles from there and regularly forget that it existed.

Never once met anyone from there.
