Portage, Ind., launched their pitch to the Bears on Wednesday, asking the team to call an audible and consider a rent-free stadium in their city.
Portage unveiled its proposal for “Halas Harbor,” a $5 billion project on a 300-acre site that would include a stadium that, per its hype video, would come “fully privately financed” with “zero taxpayer burden” and “zero debt on the team.”
