they would have pulled that trigger already. I still think they will end up in the NW suburb of Arlington Heights. They own the land already, plans for the stadium and surrounding amenities have been in place for some time, as well as plans for infrastructure improvements. The Bears are just posturing to get a favorable tax abatement. But where it stands now, I think the Illinois legislature is seeing if they can call the Bears' bluff. Illinois politics at its finest.
The sad part is how Chicago's clown mayor and his idiot predecessor all but encouraged the Bears to start looking elsewhere in the first place.
