Bears to meet with Pritzker aides to discuss new stadium proposal

The Chicago Bears are scheduled to meet with two of Gov. JB Pritzker's top aides on Wednesday to discuss for the first time the team's proposal for a new closed-roof stadium on the lakefront. Pritzker has already been critical of using public subsidies for new sports venues, and the Sun-Times reports that, according to a source with knowledge of the governor's thinking, Bears officials will likely hear there isn't a "magic number" that could get them to change Pritzker's mind.
