(Chicago, IL) — Governor Pritzker’s office is still not in favor of the Bears’ plan to build a new stadium along Chicago’s lakefront. After meeting with team executives yesterday to discuss the four-point-seven-billion-dollar proposal, top Pritzker aides called the plan a “non-starter.” The governor’s office says Pritzker would need to see “a demonstrable and tangible benefit to the taxpayers of Illinois” in order to subsidize a brand new stadium for a privately owned sports team. The Bears are asking the state to spend more than one-billion-dollars on the project.
