It's only been 20 years since the re-muddle of Soldier Field, where the Bears desecrated an iconic stadium by building another stadium inside the shell, at a cost of hundreds of millions (billions?) of dollars.
They not only want to abandon the work they did when Brett Favre was kicking their asses. They want to TEAR IT DOWN for a new eyesore where Jordan Love will kick their asses.
This cycle of spending a billion every generation on a new stadium has to stop.

This story goes on and on about the creative design of these new office buildings, for 4,000 new employees. NOT ONE WORD about where all of these people are supposed to live. The presumption is that they'll all commute to-and-from Madison, which is sorely lacking for housing.
Madison has become a bedroom community for Epic commuters. No one else can afford to live there. Yet Epic does NOTHING to help ease the housing shortage (and traffic nightmare) that they've created. https://captimes.com/news/business/epic-systems-is-starting-sixth-campus-and-its-from-other-worlds/article_47ce1d50-00ea-11ef-b27b-a323528326f6.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=user-share&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1n9ci3_TkBmMZx8aXsvqg69sjPzQJgDKEHXhsPMrzyex5MbS2d51DJSSI_aem_AZV5H_5f0CCCQbSYkxmLubPKVo8p_Te1MzVdiI5lI8kokgVAdKPBybIEGgjpddqCrfvDPKJjiVx4fZx9LYQuri91
I always hear: "What can be done with all the homeless people?"
I *NEVER* hear: "Why are there so many homeless people?"
Answering the second question leads to more solutions. The first question leads to a sick game of whack-a-mole. #homeless
