When the Bears announced that NW Indiana was an option then started taking soil samples in Hammond, Indiana, most Indiana residents (me included) knew that the Bears were trying to play us for fools. Their real intent is to get a sweetheart deal from Illinois Governor Jelly Belly and move to Arlington Heights, Illinois. Bear fans in Illinois were struck with real panic at the possibility of having to go to Gary, Indiana to see the Bears. But, the Bears never said Gary. They said NW Indiana which has many possibilities just across the Illinois / Indiana border. In a nutshell, it ain't happening. The Bears are most likely moving to Arlington someday. While Bear fans didn't like the idea of driving to NW Indiana to see a game, they have no problem driving that same distance to buy cheaper gas, cigs, fireworks, and groceries. As far as I'm concerned, they can stay in Illinois.
