I have several serious questions about this deal?

Is NIU paying to rent this stadium, when they could play in Huskie Stadium for free?
How much are they paying to rent SeatGeek Stadium?
This is an abandoned stadium with a questionable future run by a town with a shady history!
Why is NIU doing this?
SeatGeek signed a very questionable deal for naming rights after Toyota would not renew the naming rights. SeatGeek paid 2 million dollars a year for the naming rights when the Chicago Fire was playing there. Now they are paying less than a million a year. As part of the deal, SeatGeek runs the ticket servicing for the venue making a profit on every ticket sold at the stadium. Hence the ticket price not being included in the season ticket pricing.
The village of Bridgeview has a shady political history including having a RICO investigation about strong-arming a business owner to sell his interest in a business via mafia threats to build the stadium.

Why is NIU doing this deal???
Is this really to expand the Chicago fan base or is something else going on?
Does this involve the massive political pay to play corruption in Illinois?
I have a hard time figuring out the economic benefits of this deal for NIU?
