Chicago Bears Are Still Moving to Illinois

I was looking on ESPN today just looking at the headlines for today and I see that the Chicago Bears have taken another step to moving to Illinois. Where it will be still hasn't been decided yet which if you're going to move seems odd to me. There is still a small possibility that they can move to Indiana as well. So this talk ahs been going on for at least a year and not much information is getting passed to the public on it. From what I can see written, I can see why. No one seems to know exactly what they want to actually complete anything. I don't think they really should have said anything until this was a done deal and they were ready to move seeing as everything still seems to be up in the air. This is supposed to bring people and regions together and I really hope that it does what they want it to do after all this. It confuses me but hey if it works for them it works. *info comes from ESPN

I like that Chicago is like we are not paying for the majority of this new stadium you want, bite me. Okay, I added the bite me, but you get my point. Why should the taxpayer pick up the majority of the bill?

@AmbiePam I'm not even sure why Green Bay did it but I wouldn't mind if more teams did. Then again I don't really know the pros and cons to something like that.

Not unless maybe they want to do what Green Bay did and open up shares of the team to the public? Do you think that's a possibility?

Chicago is an Illinois city. The Chicago Bears are an Illinois team, and have always played with Illinois as their home field. I think you meant to say Indiana.

They said once they were moving not necessarily to Illinois but another stadium. No matter where they go they're building a new stadium I just wish there was more information. This is one of those storylines that the NFL is just giving you crumbs.

@JordanLader My point is they cannot move to Illinois because they are already playing with Soldier Field in Chicago Illinois as their home ground. They cannot move to a state they are already playing from.

I might be a bit dumb as I am not really up on American geography But Chicago is a city in Illinois isn't it
