I am interested in the Metra crosstown service proposal where train lines connect to O'Hare (and avoid downtown Chicago) and how that would impact getting to a potential Arlington Heights stadium/district (on UP-NW line) from other parts of the region.

Good analysis here on what the "public ownership" of a new AH Bears stadium (+ sales tax capture in/around stadium) could mean.

This is the group (Econsult Solutions) that UW-Madison athletics paid to make claims about the impact of football games which lawmakers recited during debate on the $15M annual facility payments in the NIL bill.

“Induced” and “indirect jobs” is wild math that no economist would ever agree with. We are talking about companies such as Starbucks and In-N-Out getting this money.

I disagree entirely that the financial math for the team is "unquestionably better in Indiana." In fact, it isn't close. Being able to pay for a development in AH with sales tax (same as the state paying for it through general revenue, BTW) and Bears keeping all revenue is huge.
