Bear Down, NW Indiana Bears...
Doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it???
In a letter to season-ticket holders, #Bears president/CEO Kevin Warren says Illinois state leadership told the team its proposed stadium in Arlington Heights won’t be a priority in 2026.

Warren has been through the stadium wars here and knows what he's doing.
Bears have already had a nice year and arrow is up on Caleb.
Lots to be excited about in Chi town and you're right - that is more pressure on State.

I think they should put it in Gary. Anyone ever been to Gary, Indiana? Oh my. Bear down, Gary Bears!

Some people are always looking for the negative! Look at it this way, there's not much traffic to deal with in Gary!

If the Bears have a nice year, there'll be even more pressure for the State leadership to play nice.

With the financial storm approaching the Bears are gonna be SOL.
Kind of funny though that no matter how "tight" a states budget is claimed to be before the legislative session, there are always many many millions that are "found" for pet projects.
