Mayor Brandon Johnson’s been fighting to keep them downtown and blocking the suburban deal, while Pritzker’s pushing incentives to at least keep them in Illinois. But the main reasons Chicago got ruled out are money and logistics: Soldier Field’s too small, they can’t own it, and they couldn’t find a workable site in the city. Crime’s a real concern for fans heading to games, but it’s not the official reason the team’s citing. It’s mostly about getting a modern stadium with better revenue and tax deals.
