The question is simple should the Bears move from Illinois to Indiana?

There's currently 10 teams that don't play home games in their home town and a few of those are in whole other states. Giants play in Jersey. Commanders in Maryland. Chiefs will be in Kansas soon. Who would even notice?

Who would even notice?

Taxpayers

Taxpayers

Don't forget lodging, restaurants, escort services, bars, drug dealers, street vendors. Home NFL games don't sell as much gay sex as republican conventions but they sell a lot. A lot of people come to town spending a lot of money. That's why cities bid for the stadiums and sometimes build them practically for free. The millions of fans watching on TV don't know and don't care where they're actually playing. I didn't know almost 1/3 of the teams don't play at home till recently.

Don't forget ......... escort services, bars, drug dealers, .....gay sex .

Why should taxpayers fund such things?

They shouldn't. Same thing happened in my state. They raised taxes to fund the remodel of Carolina Panthers stadium.

How stadium projects are paid for varies. Sometimes they're completely funded and owned privately, like SoFi in Inglewood, CA, Met Life in Jersey and Gillette in Foxboro, but usually a private/public combo and mostly private. Bills new stadium nets out to be about half public with state and county and that's a record. No stadium project is completely funded by tax payers. I'm reading the Bears and Indiana tentative deal is 2 billion Bears and 1 billion Indiana.

Taxpayers should never fund a stadium with tax dollars.

As an Indiana resident and taxpayer, I hope they don’t come to Indiana.

I do not blame you a bit!. Hell I think the "Chicago" Bears should move to California or New York CITY where taxpayers allow rape and do not even ask for lube.

As someone who is a lifelong packer fan who works with one of the most obnoxious bears fan in Texas I wholeheartedly heartedly approve of the bears moving to Indiana.

I am a packers fan as well but I'm also a cowboys fan.
