Rahimi & Grote Show · Mayor Brandon Johnson makes his pitch for Bears to stay in Chicago · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

Here's the key point, though, here.

The two other locations that have been discussed...

There's no traffic study.

There's no environmental study.

In fact, the two other studies, I'm sorry, the two other sites, here's what they are saying, that the way in which to finance a privately owned stadium, property taxpayers would have to foot the bill.

Now, if you ask an everyday Chicagoan or anyone around the area, what do you hear them complaining about?

The hotel tax?

Or property taxes.

I can guarantee you they're talking about property taxes.

And so, again, as I've said from the very beginning, we are the only city that has put forth a viable plan for a publicly owned stadium that the people of Chicago could continue to enjoy and the people of the city would own the stadium.

Or have you been told directly by the Bears that you are a viable option still?

We've been in constant conversations, working out a term sheet.

And here's the thing.

The bears have said a lot of things, right?

So let's just name that, right?

And again, there's no environmental study at the other site.

And then there's no...

Traffic study.

They have owned this property for three years.

No traffic study.
