They were going to sell the name to a bank, Bank One, for $300 million.
That money would not go to the city or the taxpayers.
It would go to the Bears.
And I led an effort with a lot of veterans to oppose that.
We wanted to protect the good name of Soldier Field and tell the Bears not to be money-grubbing.
And I think that principle they should listen to again.
There are certain things that are fundamental, and that is when you have loyal fans, and I'm one of them, from birth, that believe in the team, believe in hard work and being fair, then you shouldn't take advantage of people to get more and more money for yourself.
That just isn't what Papa Bear believed in.
He started the team.
He started the NFL.
And you don't want the NFL today in the 21st century to just become a money-grubbing group of franchise owners who are billionaires who don't care about their real fans.
And I think the stadium proposal in Arlington Heights that's worthy of a lot of study and
negotiation, get a good deal that's good enough for the Bears and definitely fair to the taxpayers.
That's where they should be focusing their attention rather than running away to Indiana and Hammond, a lot harder place to get to through the toll road that I don't think people are going to be very happy about.
I'm a scorehead.
I believe in the score.
I stayed up late watching the Illini.
How about it?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
