  1. It’s been an obvious leverage play. Nonetheless, I’d be surprised if Illinois is actually able to deliver anything close to Indiana’s pitch. While psychologically it’s another state….the border is only a mile + for the new location. Ultimately it’s the 💰.

  2. This so stupid. The Bears will be in Arlington Heights. Born and raised in Indy and still live here and a huge Colts fan. The fact that our politicians take up this much time to posture, both in Indiana and Illinois is embarrassing for all of them.

  3. Indiana would do well not to even entertain this. The Bears are not moving to Indiana….period. This is a leverage play and the more that Indiana offers means they can use that to their advantage. If anyone is buying property in Hammond and Gary thinking the Bears are coming, they need to have their head examined.

  4. Illinois’-Chicago’s latest pitch is to revamp Soldier Field for concerts with little in the way of football. They might build in Arlington Heights, but I doubt it. It appears Pritzker and company may have already accepted the obvious.

  5. Maybe they can put in a heliport in Hammond…it’s supposed to be a guaranty of financial success for a municpal entity …only about a mile from Chicago…
