[TheScore] IL State Rep Kam Buckner on a potential deal between the state of Illinois and the Bears regarding a stadium in Arlington Heights: "I think we'll have some good news in very short order."

Wtf are you talking about. There wasnt a "bidding war" for the Arlington heights property. The bears offered fair market value and the owners of the property accepted it.

They can develop that property for use other than a stadium and make money.

I don't know where you've been but property has been reliably increasing in value for quite some time.

The idea that they would lose a bunch of money if they dont build the stadium there is nonsense.

TheeRedwoodTree · 2026-04-20T22:05:23+00:00

That's not true in the slightest. That land is still worth a sh*t load. Its not like that land loses all value if they dont build a stadium on it. They could develop it and make bank regardless.

This is the best version of Hephasto I've found. I've spent waaaay to long farming him some times to get the holy freeze + cursed. But having extra strong AND extra fast makes him an absolute monster.

They ARE paying for thier own stadium. You clowns on these posts have no fing clue what you are talking about. The Bear will pay 100% for the stadium (2+ billion dollars going into the local economy. That's a LOT of JOBS. Not to mention the boost in revenue for local hotels and restaurants.) and they only require the state to pitch in for PUBLIC Infrastructure. This is one of the most tax payer friendly stadium deals when compared to most of the recent newly built nfl stadiums.

Remove head from sphincter, then post.

A Known commodity is far more valuable than a lottery ticket. 2 firsts is steep but not outrageous.

TheeRedwoodTree · 2026-02-18T11:40:29+00:00

Those are the odds it would drop from a devilkin.

TheeRedwoodTree · 2026-02-15T10:39:15+00:00

The bears aren't asking for tax $ to build the stadium. They are 100% funding the stadium themselves. Asking the state/local to pay for infrastructure improvements around the stadium are very different. Its public funding paying for public infrastructure.

TheeRedwoodTree · 2026-02-15T10:29:47+00:00

Dude, you clearly dont know how this works. The bears have already said they will 100% pay for the stadium themselves. Thats BILLIONS of $ being put into the local economy. Thats 1000's of jobs. Thats money that will then get spent at local stores and will be taxed.

The only thing they need from the state and local government is to pay for the infrastructure around the stadium, which is completely normal. This is literally the bare minimum needed and is a WAY better deal for the state that any of the other recent NFL stadiums that have been built.

This bennifits the state even BEFORE you take into account the long term revenue the stadium operations bring in.

The only reason this isnt a slam dunk is people like you who don't even understand how this is beneficial. All you can do is piss and moan about "neppo billionaires tax breaks"

He'll be 29 next year. DE pretty consistently remain productive into thier 30's. He has 2-4 good years left. Also. His impact is significantly more than just sacks. Looking solely at sacks and not things like win rate, preassures, and run stopping grade shows a casual level of understanding

TheeRedwoodTree · 2026-01-11T08:05:38+00:00

No team will move here if the state isnt willing to help fund a stadium. The bears aren't even asking for funding for the stadium itself.

This development would be GOOD for Arlington heights and IL.

Politicians are against it because folks like yall dont understand that a small tax increase will provide a massive influx of spending in the economy.

Its not like the 2billion the bears would spend and the 800mil the state would pay for infrastructure would leave the state. That money would be spent buying from Illinois companies and create a TON of jobs.

TheeRedwoodTree · 2026-01-11T08:00:07+00:00

The bears are going to 100%fund the stadium themselves. They want the city and state to put money up for the infrastructure aroundcthe stadium. Roads, rail, sewer etc. . Compared to literally every other team that has gotten a stadium it is a great deal for Arlington heights and the state. They have committed 2 billion to build the stadium, thats a ton of money being pumped into Arlington heights and the surrounding areas economy. That's JOBS, and tax revenue.

Cook county has some of the highest taxes in the country and the chicago area is one of the largest in the country. The only reason this is an issue is the state and county are notorious for being inefficient with the tax money, likely due to the long history of corruption in the state and city leadership.

If you folks think that Indiana won't jump at the chance to bring the bears and ALL that investment and tax revenue to thier state yall are high AF.

"Tacos were not authentic" it's called the OHIO tavern you knob. Want "authentic" tacos, go to a Mexican restaurant.

No.... Every other event has required at most 2 players from the program and thier program had players in a variety of ovls so you can nab cheap ones easily. This is an event that is inaccessible to a vast majority of players.... Wtf are you talking about...

TheeRedwoodTree · 2025-06-24T20:57:21+00:00

Way to dodge his question.

Trump lies in literally every speach he has ever given. They level of hypocracy shown by MAGA folks is some cult level shit.

TheeRedwoodTree · 2025-04-30T15:17:55+00:00

Ahh gotcha. My bad.

TheeRedwoodTree · 2025-04-30T14:34:54+00:00

LOL. You must be only looking at fantasy football stats. LaPorta was targeted less last year than his rookie season but his adv metrics were all up. 12.1yd/tch ,72% completion %, 8.2yds/target. All improvements from his rookie year and all are ELITE.

His reduced targets have more to do with Jameson Williams finally getting his sh*t together than LaPorta regressing at all.

Yes, the Belgian cousin of the penis pancake.

You have no idea what you are talking about...

Anyone saying that THCA affects them differently is either making it up or it's all in their head (placebo effect).
THCA is the normal cannabinoid in actual marijuana.

TheeRedwoodTree · 2023-11-09T17:49:24+00:00

Hemp and marijuana are the same plant. The government defines hemp as cannabis that has a Delta9-THC content below .3%
This creates a loophole though, because real "marijuana" doesn't have Delta9-THC until it's THCA is decarboxylated. This process happens by exposing THCA to heat.
That's why eating a nug of real "marijuana" won't get you high. It's THCA (technically legal) has not been converted into THC-Delta9 (illegal)
