All it took was the best offensive game of his life to FINALLY go over .700 OPS and 100 wRC+ lmfaoooooooo 😂😂😂😂😂 Cubs fans are not intelligent baseball fans. Not whatsoever. Every single stereotype about them is correct Absolute CLOWN fanbase


can they stop being gay FOR TWO SECONDS



Cubs fans do not pay attention at games. They’re there to build beer snakes and socialize.





For full transparency reasons... While responding to someone, I went to prove the tax rate in Arlington Heights was indeed the 9% that I listed originally. It was not that rate for 2024 (2025 rates are not available yet). The rate is actually over 10%. This made me double check my math and the information I pulled, and I was actually missing multiple parcels for the United Center. POINT STILL STANDS... but I think we should be honest and transparent. Again, I want to leave emotions out of this. I also looked into Wrigley Field per a conversation - that one is a little more difficult. Corrected Numbers... New Bears Stadium (Arlington): Est. Market Value: $2,400,000,000 Est. Taxable Value: $600,000,000 2024 Equalizer: 3.0355 2024 Tax Rate: 10.381% Level of Assessment (5-97): 25% Cost to build: $2-3 Billion Estimated Prop Taxes: ~$189,069,153 United Center: Market Value: $121,815,880 Taxable Value: $30,453,970 2024 Equalizer: 3.0355 2024 Tax Rate: 6.643% Level of Assessment (5-97): 25% Cost to build: $175,000,000 (1994) Market Value vs Original Cost: ~70% Estimated Prop Taxes: ~$6,140,990 Difference vs Bears Est. Taxes: ~$180 Million Wrigley Field: Market Value: $165,785,710 Taxable Value: $16,578,571 2024 Equalizer: 3.0355 2024 Tax Rate: 6.868% Level of Assessment (7-97): 10% Cost to renovate: $750,000,000** (2019) Estimated Prop Taxes*: ~3,456,270 Difference vs Bears Est. Taxes: ~$185 Million ** Includes neighboring development *Stadium Only SoFi Stadium: Property Taxes: $8,900,000*** Difference vs Bears Est. Taxes: ~$180 Million\ ***Highest property tax bill for a current stadium in the United States. Wrigley Field has a special incentive property classification (Class 7 Incentive) which makes the taxable value 10% of the Market Value rather than 25% like most other commercial properties. Wrigley Field was difficult to identify everything. Some recent reports have their taxes at only $2.7mm. #DaBears
