PAYS.

90
00:01:41,335 --> 00:01:42,469
BUT SOLDIER FIELD IS USED

91
00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:45,706

92
00:01:45,706 --> 00:01:46,139
INFREQUENTLY.

93
00:01:46,139 --> 00:01:47,641
SO IN SOME WAYS, THERE'S

94
00:01:47,641 --> 00:01:48,175
AN OL

95
00:01:48,175 --> 00:01:49,376
JOKE ABOUT A GUY

00:01:49,376 --> 00:01:50,277
WHO GETS

97
00:01:50,277 --> 00:01:51,078
MUGGED

98

99
00:01:52,613 --> 00:01:53,480
THEY

100
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:53,947
EVENTUALLY

101
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:55,082
WRESTLE HIM TO THE

102
00:01:55,082 --> 00:01:56,483

103
00:01:56,483 --> 00:01:57,584
TAKE $3 OUT OF HIS POCKET AND

104
00:01:57,584 --> 00:01:58,886
WHY DID YOU PUT UP SUCH A

105
00:01:58,886 --> 00:01:59,419
FIGHT

106
00:01:59,419 --> 00:02:00,787
FOR P DOLLARS?

107
00:02:00,787 --> 00:02:02,256
OHWORKS I THOUGHT YOU WANTED

108
00:02:02,256 --> 00:02:02,523

$200 IN MY SHOE.

110
00:02:03,991 --> 00:02:04,591
I

111
00:02:04,591 --> 00:02:06,026
THINK THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE

112
00:02:06,026 --> 00:02:07,027
GOING

113
00:02:07,027 --> 00:02:07,628
ON.

114
00:02:07,628 --> 00:02:09,463
IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE

115
00:02:09,463 --> 00:02:10,364
WHATSOEVER SO BUILD THIS

116
00:02:10,364 --> 00:02:11,331
AS A

117
00:02:11,331 --> 00:02:12,266

119
00:02:12,699 --> 00:02:14,401
>>THE CITY IS SAYING IT WOULD

120
00:02:14,401 --> 00:02:15,802
ACTUALLY -- THEY HAVEN'T SAID

121
00:02:15,802 --> 00:02:16,103
MUCH.

122
00:02:16,103 --> 00:02:17,137
THEY'RE BEING

123
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:18,105
CLOSED MOUTHED

124
00:02:18,105 --> 00:02:19,139
ABOUT IT.

125
00:02:19,139 --> 00:02:20,440
BUT IN A RELEASE THEY SAID

126
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:20,741
THE

127
00:02:20,741 --> 00:02:22,843
CITY IS LOOKING FOR A

128
00:02:22,843 --> 00:02:23,944

130
00:02:24,545 --> 00:02:26,079

131
00:02:26,079 --> 00:02:27,281
BE ATTRACT

SPORTING EVENTS.

135
00:02:29,616 --> 00:02:30,984
SO DOES THIS KIND

136
00:02:30,984 --> 00:02:31,451
OF

137
00:02:31,451 --> 00:02:32,019
COMBINATION

138
00:02:32,019 --> 00:02:33,053
WORK IN AN

140
00:02:34,054 --> 00:02:35,255
>>NOT REALLY.

141
00:02:35,255 --> 00:02:36,857
IT'S JUST THE VENUES DON'T WORK

142
00:02:36,857 --> 00:02:37,891
IN TERMS OF WHAT

143
00:02:37,891 --> 00:02:39,126
A CONVENTION

146
00:02:41,895 --> 00:02:42,196
WANT.

147
00:02:42,196 --> 00:02:43,463
THEY DON'T GO TOGETHER WELL AND

148
00:02:43,463 --> 00:02:45,065
THERE HAVE BEEN CITIES THAT

149
00:02:45,065 --> 00:02:45,832
HAVE

150
00:02:45,832 --> 00:02:47,534
TRIED IT'S AND

151
00:02:47,534 --> 00:02:49,102
LARGELY

152
00:02:49,102 --> 00:02:49,536
UNSUCCESSFUL.

153
00:02:49,536 --> 00:02:51,038
WE THAT TO POSSESS, THE CITY AS

154
00:02:51,038 --> 00:02:52,206

00:02:57,010 --> 00:02:57,544
ANY

159
00:02:57,544 --> 00:02:59,446

IS SAYING,

162
00:03:01,481 --> 00:03:02,716
THOUGH, IT'S KIND OF SELLING IT

163
00:03:02,716 --> 00:03:03,817
AS A SITE FOR

164
00:03:03,817 --> 00:03:04,751

00:03:58,038 --> 00:03:58,438
ABSOLUTELY.

214
00:03:58,438 --> 00:03:59,673
HOW DOES THAT FIT IN WITH THE

215
00:03:59,673 --> 00:04:00,974

HAVE AN EVENT CENTER THAT

231
00:04:15,355 --> 00:04:15,789
ALLOWS

232
00:04:15,789 --> 00:04:17,357
A RANGE OF SHOWS THAT WE

233
00:04:17,357 --> 00:04:17,958

234
00:04:17,958 --> 00:04:20,260
CURRENTLY ATTRACT IN A

235
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:20,894

245
00:04:34,107 --> 00:04:35,475

402
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:34,788
KNOWN, WHY THE

403
00:07:34,788 --> 00:07:36,390
BIG PUSH FOR THIS?

404
00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:37,691
IS THERE SOMETHING WE DON'T

405
00:07:37,691 --> 00:07:39,560
KNOW, OTHER THAN THE

406
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,060
CASINO.

407
00:07:40,060 --> 00:07:41,161
>>I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING

408
00:07:41,161 --> 00:07:42,629
ELSE GOING

409
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:43,397
ON, SORT OF

410
00:07:43,397 --> 00:07:44,264
MY SHOE

411
00:07:44,264 --> 00:07:45,399
JOKE AT THE

412
00:07:45,399 --> 00:07:45,799
OUTSET.

413
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:48,001
BUT

414
00:07:48,001 --> 00:07:48,168
ALSO,

415
00:07:48,168 --> 00:07:51,038
IT'S NOT ORIGINAL WITH

416
00:07:51,038 --> 00:07:51,438
ME.

417
00:07:51,438 --> 00:07:52,606
IT'S HARD FOR A MAYOR

418
00:07:52,606 --> 00:07:54,942
TO KEEP

419
00:07:54,942 --> 00:07:55,609
A

420
00:07:55,609 --> 00:07:56,777
CONCRETE PROMISE TO THE

421
00:07:56,777 --> 00:07:57,110
PEOPLE.

422
00:07:57,110 --> 00:07:58,745
SO WHAT HAPPENS

423
00:07:58,745 --> 00:07:59,313
HERE, IS

424
00:07:59,313 --> 00:08:00,714
SOMEBODY IS GOING TO BENEFIT

425
00:08:00,714 --> 00:08:02,783
FROM THIS AND THE QUESTION IS,

426
00:08:02,783 --> 00:08:03,083
WHO?

427
00:08:03,083 --> 00:08:04,084
AND THAT WE DON'T KNOW.

428
00:08:04,084 --> 00:08:05,452
WE DON'T KNOW WHO IT IS AND

429
00:08:05,452 --> 00:08:05,819
WE

430
00:08:05,819 --> 00:08:08,755
DON'T KNOW WHAT ARE THE OTHER

431
00:08:08,755 --> 00:08:10,424
PIECES TO

432
00:08:10,424 --> 00:08:10,891
THISLE.

433
00:08:10,891 --> 00:08:12,626
>>IF THERE IS

434
00:08:12,626 --> 00:08:13,627
A CASINO,

435
00:08:13,627 --> 00:08:14,628
DOES IT

436
00:08:14,628 --> 00:08:15,796
MAKE MORMON TEAR

437
00:08:15,796 --> 00:08:16,296
SENSE?

438
00:08:16,296 --> 00:08:18,031
>>PROBABLY SO BECAUSE AGAIN IN

439
00:08:18,031 --> 00:08:18,999
THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION, A LOT

440
00:08:18,999 --> 00:08:20,534
OF THE GAMBLING IN CHICAGO THAT

441
00:08:20,534 --> 00:08:23,203
TAKES PLACE IS THE

442
00:08:23,203 --> 00:08:24,304
MAYOR'S BAND.

443
00:08:24,304 --> 00:08:25,305
WE HAVE

444
00:08:25,305 --> 00:08:26,173
CASINOS IN CHICAGO.

445
00:08:26,173 --> 00:08:27,674
THEY HAVE TO BE LOTIONED

446
00:08:27,674 --> 00:08:28,475
IN

447
00:08:28,475 --> 00:08:29,610
WISCONSIN AND INDIANA AND

448
00:08:29,610 --> 00:08:30,043
IOWA

449
00:08:30,043 --> 00:08:31,044
SO THIS

450
00:08:31,044 --> 00:08:31,812
WOULD

451
00:08:31,812 --> 00:08:34,681
BRING THE

452
00:08:34,681 --> 00:08:35,048
GAMBLING

453
00:08:35,048 --> 00:08:36,450
MONEY BACK INTO THE CITY, AS

454
00:08:36,450 --> 00:08:37,751
WELL AS OUTSIDE OTHER STATES

455
00:08:37,751 --> 00:08:38,886
INTO CHICAGO.

456
00:08:38,886 --> 00:08:39,953
>>ALL

457
00:08:39,953 --> 00:08:40,287
RIGHT.

458
00:08:40,287 --> 00:08:44,287
THANK
