I don't know how I feel about this. I can understand why, but I don't know about messing with the chemistry of the interior line at this point.

I was hoping to see us commit to the run against the Rams too. So not sure if this will be another reason for BJ to go and get pass happy.

It'll be interesting if true.
 

So let me get this straight.... The State of Indiana picks up the full tab for buying the land, and builds a billion-dollar, state-of-the art stadium (and probably all that comes with it), with no cash input from an organization worth at least $10 billion dollars. Then for decades, my friends and family still living in the Region, an area that's already financially strapped, pull the full weight of paying the tax bill on that monster, while the McCaskeys suck in the millions through a vacuum hose while paying $0 in taxes? Fuck that and fuck them. They better take their asses to Arlington Heights where they belong.

Makes no sense, as a native, I remember when the Bears pulled this trick 25 years ago when they “threatened” to move to IN as a tool to shake down IL for the Soldier Field renovation.

That IN republicans, who’ve NEVER been friends to NW Indiana, particularly Gary, are the ones purposing this, is insane, and it also means that they have no interest in actually putting this in Gary, it will go to Hammond and McDermott, who is a legacy DINO from the days of the Democratic machine that his daddy was a huge part of, but the son, like his father, has no interest in doing anything that would benefit black citizens in his own city, let alone Gary. I like Melton and get why he has to do this dog and pony show for Gary, but there are so many more issues there that require fixing, this won’t help.

Couldn't agree with you more. Just like last time, this is nothing more than a leverage play by the Bears. And quiet as it's kept, the State of Indiana would catch pure hell for doing this from the Irsay family, who DO NOT want to share any of the goodies they get from the state with another NFL team.
