If the Chicago Bears Build a New Stadium in Northwest Indiana:

[Chasstev365]

* They should no longer be call the "Chicago" Bears

* Chicago should lure another team to move to Chicago or get an expansion team

* Indiana would have two NFL teams and Illinois (Chicago) none.

* Other than the ancient South Shore Line (the last interurban in America), there is no decent public transportation to get there.

This is a BAD idead!

1. I smell Krasnov

This looks to me just like LIV Golf, which Krasnov was behind.

2. Yeah, a bad idea -- just like that white elephant in Santa Clara

3. "Would the 'NY' Giants please pick up the white courtesy phone"...

4. There are so many places in the Chicago suburbs that they could build a new stadium.

And even within Chicago. What a stupid idea to move out of state.

5. It's extortion for state tax dollars

6. So now they will be the Whiting/Hammond Bears?

7. They're Not Moving To Indiana

It's a silly negotiating ploy. Nobody in Illinois government is taking it seriously.
For one thing, the Indiana legislature is dominated by RWNJs who hate anything Chicago.
They're not going to do anything that would help a team still based in Illinois.
Second, the big money for skyboxes & premium seating comes from North or northwest of the city. Those folks will scream bloody murder if they have to travel 40 miles farther for a game. They could protest by closing their checkbooks
And, they already own that giant piece of property on the NW suburbs.
This is much ado about nothing.

8. BUT, if you don't hear a rumor by noon you're supposed to start one

9. I Completely Forgot That Rule!

Thanks for reminding me!
