@SeanTPendergast I met a guy at a poker table in Vegas once and he said he was from Chicago. I said ‘Me too , where?’ His response: Hobart …. People in NW Indiana think they are Chicagoans. They really do. They even stay on Chicago time. Jets & Giants play in New Jersey so this nothing
@klastastic@renhtin@GovPritzker The new stadium will be covered so while Soldier Field is blanketed in snow the new stadium is open for business. Sports alone: B1G football championship , NCAA basketball site ( 1st round, regional ,final 4) one to mention the NFL will give it a Super Bowl. Music , UFC, WWE…
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.

@BRIASInterludee What about the fans that sit in that traffic from NW Indiana now that suddenly is a 1 hour trip versus 2-3 ? Fans lost from the north will be replaced by fans closer to Hammond.
Da Bears didn’t choose Indiana because of a stadium
They chose Indiana because Indiana treated the project like economic development
The stadium is one piece. The real focus is decades of construction, hotels, restaurants, housing, jobs, tourism, and tax $ around it
Big projects follow places that want to grow. That’s the real lesson here imo
Hoosiers, help me welcome the Chicago Bears to our great state!
We look forward to building a partnership as strong as the '85 Bears defense, creating opportunities and economic growth that will benefit our state and the Bears organization for decades to come.
An NFL franchise in Northwest Indiana will be an economic boost to the entire region like we haven’t seen before.
Thank you to Speaker Huston, the legislature, and Mayor McDermott for their partnership. I also want to thank the entire Chicago Bears organization for their partnership and commitment in making this move a reality.
Welcome to Indiana!
@byajperez@StaceyJSpiehler Oh good to know. In journalism I can tell my boss to fuck off in anger in a team meeting and all is good. I’m in the wrong biz.
@StaceyJSpiehler Ahhh the people with ‘fuck you money’. Of course they walk and say what they want at will. I understood that the ‘I’ you were referring to was YOU … it’s the collective ‘I’. Gotcha.
@StaceyJSpiehler And that’s fair. Sadly , so many people can’t financially do that and are forced to eat shit daily at work until, like you , can leave. I’m glad you’re far more financially secure than millions of others around the country to be that nimble in your career choices.
@SwaginTha865@rogernme29471@illbearound2024@CryptidPolitics Really isn’t my argument I pretty much agree with you. I have zero problem with 99.9% of professional athletes during the anthem. There’s about 3 they are jackasses. Mostly on the women’s side.
