A Hammond stadium is likely to direct more fan spending to Chicago hotels, restaurants, and clubs than Arlington Heights would, while offering targeted development/transit upside for the South Side. It’s the better deal for Chicago’s broader economy in this unfortunate 'soap opera'!
(studies support this point of view, taking into account distances, current fan patterns, and project details—not guarantees, but good evidence.)
Decades? Well I guess it has FELT like decades 😂.
Also still think this doesn't ever happen, but that's just my opinion.
