One of the benefits Hoge mentions is that "there is a Metra stop". Nevermind there is also a Metra stop about 600 yards from Solider Field, but that's the line that serves the South Side and totally does not count.

I think that Metra stop services "broken homes" so many Bears fans don't like to/are scared to ride it.

But it’s true though. There have to be better locations than Arlington Heights. Adding an hour of travel time for many fans isn’t the way to go....in my opinion. There is land in Chicago

What's true about it? The history? Maybe.

The accessibility? No way. It's one of the toughest places to get to in Chicago on gamedays.

The worst seat in the house will cost less on the secondary market. That's all that's saying. Any level of affordability for low to moderate income individuals left a long time ago and would probably need a 200,000 (obviously unrealistic) seat stadium to return.
I’m a moderate to be retired on May 1 and I can afford the tickets but then add in another hour drive time and it’s not as glamorous..I’m not sure anybody is going to sell their tickets at a loss.

its 25 more miles one way for me.
sucks for you...

It is 8 days a year for Bears games....

However creating a world class facility will allow so much more year round than what Soldier Field currently provides...

Downers Grove, Lombard, Lisle are ideal locations.

1. Near Ohare
2. Close by to plenty of restautants but spread out.
3. can get there through I290 and I355.
4. plenty of metra stations
5. Plenty of hotels nearby

Literally in the middle where people from south suburbs and north suburbs can get there via multiple routes.

Hotels? How many fans are going to need a room? And why bring up an airport? Wouldn't a person just use one train station? Sounds like your describing Soldier Field.

no he is wondering why the Bears relocating to Arlington has the fuck all to do with cancel culture
LOL...I know you old timers on here think your more important than anyone else is. Whoo look at me I'm a donator or a HOF on a comment site. Also love people who have to reply with cuss words to make a point or show how tough they are. Like being in high school all over again. Okay let me explain it to you. It's because of wanting something new and getting rid of the old. Everyone is a racist now if you don't believe in the liberal way. Get rid of history, like Soldier Field, like getting rid of things like the cancel folks want.

If your asking I guess your one of those that think it's right.
* you're

I'm actually wondering how your perception of "cancel culture" fits into the idea of the Bears hypothetically moving to Arlington Heights. Can you explain?

The bears should play at Joliet speedway and have our starting quarterback inside a racecar while on the field

Keep your political BS out of the Bears Board.
