I understand the competition between cities and states for jobs. You sort of need that along with the threat of businesses and people moving to greener pastures in order to keep governments in check and make sure tax payers are getting good value and what they want for their tax dollars. But this kind of thing really smells. It could turn out to be a kind of blackmail that hurts taxpayers.

Actually without the city in the way, they get to keep all the revenue in the Bears organization. So yes they would have to spend more initially to acquire the property, but they keep all revenue streams generated from a stadium that is in their control.
