Didn’t even know this was something that could be legislated 🤷🏽‍♂️… Did you?

  1. Honestly if Indiana taxpayers want to waste their money and give the Bears a new stadium, let them.

  2. It looks like it’s a bill to set up a commission that will try to get the Bears or other pro teams to NW Indiana. It’s basically just a waste of time and people’s tax dollars as usual

  3. Nobody is going to go to a Bears game and get their hubcaps stolen and their car put on cinder blocks.

  4. Theoretically possible, but won’t happen if the Bears want an entertainment district to be part of the new stadium as no one would put one in Lake County, IN. It’s going to be Arlington Heights

  5. as a NWI native, where the fuck is it gonna go? we don’t have the infrastructure for a stadium without royally fucking up everything else.

    plus, they don’t want to come here.

  6. I drove through Gary today. You could bulldoze everything within city limits and turn it into whatever the Bears wanted. Nothing would be missed.

  7. Indiana is also trying to get several IL counties to secede and join them.

  8. Seriously, if Indiana wants to give billionaire more billions let them do it.

  9. I’m from NWI. This cannot be allowed to happen. This place fucking sucks.

  10. As long as we’re talking about unrealistic things, I DM’ed Sydney Sweeney and Sabrina Carpenter today asking them for a three way.

  11. I’ve been thinking this for years but thought it would be the Sox building there. Bears moving there is dumb after the AH purchase. Although, when have they made the smart move?

  12. Indiana’s legislature has a bit of a delusional obsession with Illinois. They also recently tried to pass a bill saying they would absorb some Illinois counties, as if they actually had the power to do that.

  13. I am by no means an expert but, I don’t know if the NFL would like that very much because of the Colts. I know there are other teams that share a city but that’s in NYC. Not Indiana. Kind of like how the NHL doesn’t want to put a team in WI. They feel like would cause too much saturation in a pretty evenly spread out area. This would cause some weird overlap the Midwest is pretty much evenly covered with teams so I don’t know if they’d want that market moving at all. I’m not an analyst just making assumptions.

  14. The Indiana legislature once tried to pass a law defining the value of pi at simply 3.

    It’s amazing those corn pones silos are standing up.

  15. It feels like 2000 all over again. Gary was mentioned back then too before Soldier Field renovations.

  16. Leave us the fuck alone when you’re talking about relocating… id be devastated. Crestfallen to be exact.

  17. Just not feasible. New Jersey has 26% of the New York metro area’s population, NW Indiana is about 7%. Not enough people, money, or infrastructure to make a Meadowlands situation work

  18. route 30 through east chicago was a ‘don’t stop at redlights with 0 other cars around late at night’ kinda thing.

  19. It would make a ton of sense for the bears to at least express interest in Gary. It would at least threaten the state with lost tax revenue. It will never happen.

  20. For $2B I bet the McCaskey’s could *buy* Gary, flatten the entire city, and turn it into one hell of a big tailgating area.

  21. They’ve been floating this since the mid 90’s and guess what the Gary Bears never happened lol
