Chicago Fire owner was praised for not “asking the city for money” when he proposed his new stadium…yet now he wants $425M of taxpayer funds

While the costs varied between $650M and $750M, the stadium would be “privately-funded.” Local media and other news outlets praised Mansueto for not forcing costs onto taxpayers.
