Arlington Heights is kind of an uppity nice area and I think what happened is they saw this (out of a few) viral snapshots going around of a Bears fan eating spaghetti out of a Ziploc bag in the middle of the game. Pretty sure they said “we ain’t having none of that Joliet Peoria Valparaiso kind of b******* up in our nice city.”

“How in the hell are we going to compete with Naperville with that kind of hillbilly horse s***?”

This is nothing new.

The Bears first floated the idea of moving to Gary/Hammond in 1995 when they were seeking stadium renovations for Soldier Field.
Which they got in 2003.

It is their go-to when Chicago and the State of Illinois don’t give them what they want.

Have they been to Gary, IN? Makes Detroit look like Boca Raton.

The Bears’ threat to Chicago is akin to telling Margot Robbie that if she’s not careful you’re going to move in with Phyllis Diller.

There’s probably a large tax reason that moving to Indiana is appealing.

That’s what i thought too, but it’s not that much different. Effective rate is nearly the same.

Who knew? I’m sure the half a percent would still amount to a lot of dough, property taxes and corporate taxes count too. I’m just finding reasons I’d like to see the bears do something stupid.
