Why do I feel like Indiana is going to get jilted at the altar on this deal?
Maybe because the exact same thing happened in the 90’s when Chicago and Illinois weren’t coming through on Bears demand for a new stadium inside Soldiers Field. Just like then, a deal will get done. And Indiana doesn’t need two NFL teams anyway.
Why not? Ohio has two teams and Missouri used to.
Maybe next time the Bengals want a new stadium, they’ll look at Indiana too…after all, Cincinnati’s airport is in a different state.
This is just a bargaining threat for them to get Illinois to cave in.
Once we annex Southern Illinois, we’ll give the Bears $3B for a new stadium to be built in Effingham to spur economic development. Then INDOT will upgrade I-57 to Chicago for the Bears fans.
Effingham would be a good location. Only 100 miles from St. Louis. I prefer that rather than Decatur Illinois which was the original home of the Bears.
We are simply a pawn in the Bears negotiating tactics. I wouldn’t give them much time unless they make some kind of move to prove they are serious. Why be used?
