If they’re smart, they’ll leave Illinois. Move just across the line to Wisconsin or Indiana. Put the team midway between Chicago and Milwaukee and watch the Packers explode. That would be fun. Indiana would be closer, there’s nothing in Gary or East Chicago that can’t be torn down, and the tax climate would be vastly better.
Would it really make a difference? I’ve flown through O’Hare enough times to know all about arriving in the Wisconsin terminal with 15 minutes to get to the Indiana terminal, so it’s all the same to me.
The Cook County tax Assessor wants them to stay in
Chicago.
“The Cook County Assessor has increased the cost potentially of a Bears’ tax bill dramatically by reassessing the property way above what it was,” said Greg Hinz, of Crain’s Chicago Business, who first reported the news. He said the move could raise the bill from $2.75 million to an estimated $16.5 million.
Dumping 500 lbs of pasta would be a good start.
Can Do!
Upon further review....Da Bears Still Suck!
Omaha Nebraska.
What could be the problem with downtown Chicago? Hmmmmmm.
Milwaukee used to have a great used bookstore at the airport.
Hammond IND, 29 miles away.
I like Omaha. But why would Omaha want the Bears?
Where can I get a deal like that?
Ever been in Nebraska when the Corn Huskers are playing?
They fill a stadium up every weekend.
That state rolls up the sidewalks during a football game.
Cant get anything done during that time.
I would almost guarantee they’d welcome a professional football team that played mostly on days off the college schedule.
Green Bay and Buffalo can do it, so can Omaha.
They should move to Toronto or better Mexico City
Whatever hurts Chicago/Illinois I’m okay with.😀
The Gary Bears. I like it. :)
Omaha huge baseball town. Sox and Cubs should go there. I’d like to see Bears adjacent to Field of Dreams in Iowa. They’d get a million fans every week. HUGE football state!
“They fill a stadium up every weekend.”
Ditto Iowa City!
If they lose a football team, then the last best hope for something positive for Teenz in the city will be lost

450 miles away from Shitcago?
