A move to Gary is being considered to help revitalise the former steel town. The team would move the entire offices lock, stock, and barrel to Indiana to avoid Cook County taxes and Illinois’ income tax. The players would take advantage of a far better economic policy in Indiana over that of a Chicago city-state.

I don’t see a downside here. Not the first team to move to a different state while claiming to be from the orginal state.
I suspect beside the tax savings, the land acquistion in Gary will be far cheaper and larger tracts would be available to control.
Also they would be nuts to let this be made public without getting control of the parcels they are looking at. Otherwise land prices in Gary just doubled.
