Da Bears – welcome to The Region!
This is a game-changer for The Region!!!
If by “game changer” you mean increased taxes, then you’re right.
For all the naysers who have posted here saying it was a bluff by the Bears, it was the stupid “Illinoise” legislature and goofy interference from the Chicago mayor that made it easy for the Bears to move out of that State. Illinois’ economic loss, Indiana’s huge gain and particularly Northwest Indiana. The spin off developments will happen adding to a turnaround for “the region”.
Patrick, all the credible research says otherwise. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that’s the reality.
Correct, Mike M. We can look at the wasteland that is the immediate surroundings around LOS as evidence.
Yes, there are a couple of new and wonderful interstate-caliber hotels across the street. And I think the Stadium Tavern was repainted. There will be so much more in the swamps near Hammond, right?
Pritzker is too busy trying to put together his Presidential campaign. What a crappy and broken state Illinois is. They do not even care to keep their football team in Illinois.
Tim, your comment only amplifies what’s wrong with this process. It’s not about sports, rich owners demanding more, and very questionable tax breaks, it’s about politics. You are one of many stuck in this red v. blue vortex. The merits of this whole Bears passion play are debatable, but are you really fine with all this, if only to show up certain Illinois politicians? Pretty small-minded.
Illinois is right to prioritize the growth of their world-class city, the size of which Indiana could never hope to approach, instead of handouts for a couple of billionaires. Now, it’s Indiana taxpayers who get to foot the bill. Lucky us.
Good for the Region. Now, let’s get to work on an MLS team and stadium here in Indianapolis — a major league team we can all get behind. The Bears, will remain Chicago’s team, hardly Hoosiers. Mind you, somewhere down the road, the Colts, love ’em or leave ’em, are going to want more $$ and breaks to improve Lucas Oil Stadium. How could the state say “no” now? Precedent has been set. I can see a day, 10-20 years from now — the Colts don’t get want they want here and move to Chicago for a sweet deal.
This ain’t over people.
Congrats to the Region!!
Rail service will be upgraded ( maybe from Indy too) , restaurants , hotels & other retail!!
Take Da Bears and Enjoy!!
Rail service from Indy? Fat chance. The Indiana Legislature had that chance and passed because it would cost a couple million dollars a year and we need to preserve that couple billion dollar surplus. Or something like that. Now, if you want a new unnecessary interstate near Jasper that is universally opposed by residents, they’ll find the money.
I was wrong and I owe the Bears an apology as i thought they were merely using Indiana to get a better deal in Illinois.
