@Jon_Kidd They were willing to finance their own stadium in Arlington Heights. They wanted Illinois to pay for the infrastructure. So saying they can’t afford their own stadium is false.
People from Illinois, you are about to deal with the most annoying people in the world who will claim that because the Bears play in Indiana, they are not an Illinois team, but an Indiana team. You must just ignore these people.

This is fucking hilarious. Illinois has the highest property taxes in the country & the second highest gas tax in the country. Illinois also has the 8th highest combined state & local sales tax in the country. But keep telling us all that you give a fuck about the citizens of Ill
For those who want Kevin Warren fired, here’s the reality:
He just brokered the best stadium deal in modern sports history. He will be in massive demand and this will be a huge benefit to him wherever he goes next.
That’s the reality!
If the Bears do move to Indiana, the impact on Chicago and Illinois will be minimal. There isn't a huge direct economic impact from Bears games, and the city's status and reputation are not tied to having the team.
@SpeakerWelchIL lol at the pump. Average of 4.63 in Illinois. In Indiana it’s under 4.00. Most at 3.50. You thinking the politicians are for the people is laughable.
