The Chicago Bears are scheduled to meet with two of Gov. JB Pritzker's top aides on Wednesday to discuss for the first time the team's proposal for a new closed-roof stadium on the lakefront. Pritzker has already been critical of using public subsidies for new sports venues, and the Sun-Times reports that, according to a source with knowledge of the governor's thinking, Bears officials will likely hear there isn't a "magic number" that could get them to change Pritzker's mind.
