The Bears and Chicago Park District have a lease until 2033 but the Bears can break that lease as early as 2026 at a cost of $84M, but the taxpayers of Chicago are still on the hook for $640M (allegedly) which includes more than $250M in interest.

Yes it would be essentially the same distance out of DTC as Gillette stadium is from Boston. I have been to Gillette stadium - I never felt I was anywhere near Boston.
