5 thoughts on “Indiana positions itself to attract Bears as Braun prepares for second State of the State address

  1. Braun is going to fawn all over a Bears guest, who will be invited to the State of the State speech, isn’t he? It will be heavy on the saccharin. Meanwhile, his first year has been a miserable failure. He’s been unable to fulfill his campaign promises, his LG is an embarrassment and the admin continues to gut social programs for the needy.

    The article states that the Illinois Sports Corp still owes $530 million on the Soldier Field renovation from just over 20 years ago. The Indiana folks better learn from this and prevent this from happening in 20-30 years for any new build because this will happen again as the Bears will look to relocate back to Illinois. And that State / City will be more motivated to bring them back. I don’t trust that the current IN people will have that kind of foresight and the fortitude to negotiate effectively.

    1. The same folks who complained about how terrible the LEAP district was … are about to show us what a truly terrible deal what looks like. We are gonna transfer billions to the Chicago Bears and get practically nothing for the investment.

  2. While this does feel like a bit of a long shot, don’t automatically assume that it is just for leverage. The Kansas City Chiefs have announced that they are moving from Missouri to Kansas and it’s looking likely that the Kansas City Royals will too.
