Say goodbye to a 100-year tradition.
It’s a sad morning for local Bears fans, but the writing is finally on the wall.
While Illinois politicians were canceling meetings today, Indiana just held a vote and won 24-0 to make Hammond the official site for a new $2 billion stadium.
The team is officially "committed" to a vision at Wolf Lake. They’re taking a 106-year-old Chicago legacy and moving it across a state line because one side was "open for business" and the other couldn't get out of the huddle.
Imagine a Sunday in Hammond. Same colors, same team, but the soul of the city stayed in Cook County. A century of history just became a casualty of politics.
Imagine the first home game in Indiana. The "Chicago" Bears playing in a different zip code because the politics at home got too toxic. The Midwest just changed forever.
