Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson lose the Bears to Indiana

This isnt final, and if it did happen they would start playing there in 2034, when the old lease expires..

This is a strong-arm tactic because the initiative to get them funded for a shiny new stadium wont get funded..

I’m sure the “Tax-payer” doesn’t want to fund a new stadium, why would they???

The Fallacy of how much the NFL brings into a city Is far fetched.

The owner / NFL are the real winners in that situation.

Joe bus-boy / bowling show organizer / bus driver / plumber / lawn-care guy / ect., all get screwed.

IF…Hammond ends up the spot it is a short drive away…and closer to the casino.

Can’t make dollars if it doesn’t make cents

This makes cents, the rent will be much cheaper. I’m sure some palm grease will be involved as well.

It seems that it’s official…

Indiana is getting the Bears… they’re really moving out of Chicago!

The state of Indiana is gonna have two NFL football teams!
Imagine that!

Well bears are commonly known to invade cornfields.
That’s why farmers put up scarecrows.
 
Uh, there still going to be called the Chicago Bears. Or do you think New Jersey has two NFL teams and NY has none?

If da Bears were to move to Endeannah, dat would most zoietenly be a travesty and cause irreputatable harm to Tahdd's cardiovascular system, which is on da brink as it is. I think we need to call Coach Ditka! He'll find a way outta dis mess.
 
Nah! They're going to rename the team the Hammond Bears.
Seriously, as someone pointed out, the NY teams play in Jersey. It’s not a big deal!
What is it like 30 miles from Chicago to Hammond, Indiana?
The Bears will still be supported by the Chicago fans.
The bigger story is the local government failing to get a deal done to build a new stadium. Soldier Field is ancient.
 
Another lame, corporate, sterile domed stadium on the horizon. I feel for fans of teams getting new stadiums now. PSLs and ticket prices are getting absolutely insane and the entire focus of the new stadiums is to enhance the premium seating options.

Well if the Colts would change their name to the Tigers. Then Detroit moves to Indiana as well,

To borrow a line from the Wizard of OZ…………. “Lions and Tigers and Bears…….Oh my”

“ We’re not in Kansas anymore”, thus the renaming of the scarecrow…………………….
