Actually there is no way anyone who lives in Chicago would make it to either place in under an hour if there is any traffic
Who cares? Thats a Bears fan problem… I hope they do it!

Dropped my kid off at college in the northern half of the state and took him to the grocery to restock his dorm room after the holidays. Pretty much all the sports gear was IU and Bears. Once you get 40-50 miles north of Indy, it's pretty much all Chicago sports, at least pro-wise.

I don't understand the concept of not keeping stadiums in downtown areas near cool things to do. I hate suburban stadiums. Just bulldoze soldier field and rebuild it there. make them play in St. Louis or Milwaukee while they wait.

When they did the renovation of Soldier Field 20 years ago the Bears played at the University of Illinois - two hours south of Soldier Field

yeah I remember that too. hard to believe it's already been that long. I don't go to NFL games very often, so this won't impact me much if at all. the only place in Chicago I want to visit is Wrigley. kind of upset I haven't been yet. had a chance and didn't take advantage when I could have.

there is one way in and one way out. Its log-jammed. They have to build a new castle with a roof to maximize profits.

The city of chicago and the state of illinois are run by nitwits. If they leave the state you can thank that fatso Pritzker and his sidekick Brandon Johnson. They accommodated zilch to the bears for an in state option for a PRIVATELY funded stadium.

The Gary Bears, wow.
