to foot the bill for a stadium here in Lake County, IN. Which, by the way, is also a dumpster fire in my opinion. My guess, they'll settle in Arlington where they purchased land.

Fasten your seatbelt Bear fans. Update on a recent discussion. - ELP - 2:38pm 1/13/26 (14) [View All]
- Doubtful Indiana will ever get the Bears. I'm not against it, but it feels like this move is more - guiness4everyone - 6:34pm 1/13/26
  - Who paid for Soldier Field upgrades? If not the Bears, then I have a problem with it…. - BaronVonZemo - 6:55pm 1/13/26

- Kind of like the NY Jets/Giants playing in NJ. Or the Chiefs moving from MO to KS. [NT] - Shadow_of_the_Dome - 5:25pm 1/13/26
- Would everyone need to take that GD skyway where there are multiple tolls? - Iggle - 3:49pm 1/13/26
  - Chicago Skyway leads to Indiana Tollway a short distance. Get off most likely at Calumet Ave - ELP - 4:52pm 1/13/26
  - The Skyway has been under construction since 1974. [NT] - MAS - 4:30pm 1/13/26
    - My understanding is also that CHI sold it to China front company to cover some debt…. - BaronVonZemo - 6:51pm 1/13/26
- Mayor is a ND grad. Guess it could happen with south side, Crown Point, etc. [NT] - LanceManion - 3:31pm 1/13/26
  - Crown Point? [NT] - ELP - 4:52pm 1/13/26
    - Hammond. A bit run down but cheap land. [NT] - LanceManion - 6:41pm 1/13/26
      - You'd think the city's official slogan would be a little catchier than that... - TakethetrainKnute - 8:05pm 1/13/26
      - Crown Point mention threw me. Doubt it will happen but if it does, it's Hammond. [NT] - ELP - 7:09pm 1/13/26
        Sorry. Was just saying they’d draw from IN & chi. Won’t happen - LanceManion - 8:38pm 1/13/26
