To bad Indiana is just being used as leverage.
Every once in a while even a blind squirrel finds a nut.
But yes, we can hope.
Money talks
And the winners are….. The Bears!
Well, I agree its just leverage….but Illinois is a mess and their capacity to screw it up is always there. Still, I think the chances of the Bears coming to Indiana is less than 5%. But, as in Dumb and Dumber, ” you’re saying there’s a chance”! the publicity for the area though is positive and that area needs it!
I don’t understand the logic of the Legislature approving a Stadium Authority without understanding how it will be funded. That’s a fundamental issue!
Never going to happen
Taxes and more taxes. These legislative leaders somehow find money for the Bears but not for education, health care and ordinary citizens. It’s disappointing. They still believe the Bears will lead to economic growth when all the credible research shows otherwise.
So after Indiana would pay tens of millions for the property and stadium, the Bears could get it for $1. I am so very tired of multi-million dollar teams and their owners getting handouts from the taxpayers who have so much less. I’ve yet to see evidence that taxpayers live long enough to ever make back their investment in this socialism for sports teams and owners.
I think you meant to say “multi-BILLION”
Corporate welfare – o money for teachers but plenty for sports
This is truly a bear-brained idea being pursued by state lawmakers. I’ve also got to wonder — don’t we already have a NFL team in Indiana? I can’t help but imagine this could cut even deeper into the Colts shaky fan base — maybe not much, but it’s an incursion nonetheless. You’ve got to look ahead of your skis boys. I imagine, at some point, the Indianapolis Colts are going to be empowered to ask for more stadium “favors” from the Statehouse. Shoot, looking further down the road, the Bears move to Hammond and the Colts move to some sweetheart stadium deal…in Chicago! I think the Governor and legislators are foolish. And these are the same people trying to put the kibosh on Indy’s efforts for an MLS team and stadium? Go figure. Our lawmakers must really hate the city of Indianapolis.
The city of Chicago and stste Of Illinois are broke. That’s why the bears are coming to Indiana
