Stadium Update: Where things stand with Arlington Heights.

I believe that Warren wants the lakefront as he did a city stadium deal in Minneapolis.

I also believe that option will eventually have to be abandoned due to the corruption & red tape associated with building anything like this within the city limits. The location also has a lot of drawbacks such as lack of space for the amenities they want, terrible access, lack of parking, and the fact that they will never own the land. I was at the week 1 game vs Tennessee and it only reminded yet again of how much SF sucks in totality. Getting in/out of there is a total PITA, there's no amenities (bars, shops, restaurants) anywhere close, and the stadium itself is small and falls far behind modern competitors.

As much as Kevin Warren loves the lakefront, I can't see this project ever getting off the ground there and even if it did it would take FOREVER. There's no way they're ever gonna get "shovels in the ground" in 2025 downtown.

I'm still convinced this thing ends up in AH as the only advantage downtown has are nice lake views in the early season.

Later in the season, getting in and out of the stadium and to/from parking - in nasty weather it is especially bad.  I only go to away games now.  I won't ever go back to SF.  But I'd love to go to a nice stadium in Arlington Heights. 

Sorry, my bad. I didn't mean for frontal nudity. I meant to show the rear. I am not as well acquainted with naked chicken anatomy as I should be. But since I have several rubber chickens, I am going to buy them a drink and see if I can delve into this a little more. I'll get back to you.  

It's valid, but pretty looks don't make the Mc's money nor does it equate to wins so at the end of the day it doesn't matter to the owners; it's like getting WR's for a cool fantasy football team instead of an OL; huh maybe Warren is more serious about this then I was guessing.


But the Burbs and all that land does create more earnings for the Mc's. Casino, Restuarants, bigger stadium (MUCH BIGGER STADIUM), shopping etc, and the Mc's could have a piece of all of it or sell some smaller plots of land to help finance the stadium since the city/states aren't going to give them shit for it.
