Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

How many Super Bowls have the Vikings been to in the last 40 years? Bears have been to two. That's two more than the Vikings.
To go to Indiana? Not at all.
Let’s put it this way, the Bears won’t be moving their HQ there. Owners and front office staff will still live in nice Illinois burbs.
I don’t know, I wouldn’t call averaging one more per season and having three more winning seasons “significantly better.”
Nowhere near as bad as a former toxic waste site by oil refineries and steel mills
It’s reflective of how a huge portion of the emotion isn’t actually about Bears fans preferring to play 40 miles away from Solider Field instead of 20 miles in Hammond
It’s pathetic partisan nonsense
Yep, Corp. tax rate in Indiana is a flat 4.9% and no gross receipts tax. Corp. tax rate in Illinois is 9.5%. That's nothing to sneeze at.
The Bears having the poorest owners in the NFL is a much bigger factor
Owners of the Bulls, Blackhawks, and Fire not having the issues the Bears are. Soon the White Sox
A shame the McCaskey’s refuse to sell more of a stake to Ryan. He has the money and political savvy to get this done in Chicago
Can you give examples of why he is the stupidest mayor in the country or is it simply what letter follows his name?
I don’t live there, love to visit, so I have no vested interest in Chicago really. But I assure you, he’s not the stupidest mayor in the country.
I didn’t realize how close Hammond was though I don’t think I have been south of McCormick place this century.

The likely site is closer than in the image…and better for Chicago than AH
It’s right on the state line. The state of Illinois can use a portion of the incentives the Bears are asking for, and grab some of the growth from the stadium.
Taxpayers should really be celebrating that. Indiana is picking up the tab
