Football news: Rome and Burden both out for Saturday*

Better news is that Edmunds was a full participant. Seems in line to return*
Posted by AintHatin

that means more 2 tes, which i'm fine with. need swift to play as well.*

Packers list 10 guys as questionable, with 3 back ups ruled out.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
And it seems like Watson is probably fine, so that’s a pretty big swing in favor of Green Bay

Any NW Indiana site would also be 50+ miles from Halas Hall. LOL*
Posted by Carl Spackler

The jets used to do that. Their facility was on Long Island and they played in New Jersey

Haven't they already paid a ton of money for the AH site, plus demo work?

<Old man in Maine> You can't get the from here....*

I for one look forward to visiting Krazy Kaplan’s Stadium.

As someone who knows little about the Bears and this whole saga...I have to think back...

Mostly covered below, but not only does it take you out of the city but more importantly…

People forget that the NY Jets and NY Giants do not play in the state of New York*
Posted by RSMBob
|
I don't think anyone forgets that
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
The relationship is wildly different*
Posted by Sounder
|
I cannot fathom how anything in NW Indiana would ever make sense.

|
For football I'm not sure location matters all that much
Posted by ijustkrushalot
|
I always felt the argument around here was that Soldier's current location is the problem.
Posted by tvillini
|
There is only one S in Soldier Field*
Posted by Sounder
|
No one is actually seriously thinking that they'll change their name, are they?
Posted by IlliniOllie
|
some stupid people probably do, but no one with any common sense
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
I'm sure a high % of people from NWI tell people they are from "Chicago"
Posted by KingTalkyTiki
|
This cocaine is so white it tells people it's from Chicago
Posted by Sounder
|
...and that Santa Clara stadium is the worst new stadium in the NFL. Total clunker*

I haven’t been to many but MetLife is dogshit
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider

It's very New York. It's the football version of New Yankee, IMO
Posted by tvillini
|
Is it? I haven't been. I have no idea. I know that the sunny side gets unbelievably hot...

it's very very..."whatever"

That war my impression from the RedBox Bowl
Posted by ijustkrushalot
|
RedBox Bowl sounds like a sex toy*
Posted by Sounder
|
yes. for a new stadium, it's trash.*
Posted by cpsteine
|
moving to Arlington Heights makes sense
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
This is my read as well
Posted by biclops

I-80 in NW indiana is so freaking grim
Posted by ijustkrushalot

You're raising a lot of questions about leverage that are answered by my "this is not leverage" scre
Posted by ijustkrushalot
|
On one hand I could see Indiana gleefully spending half a billion just for the narrative
Posted by ijustkrushalot
|
Half a billion? Going to take a lot more than that. *

This is the guy they hired just to ramrod the new stadium through to completion.
Posted by osklister
|
I'm glad JB continues to tell them no. This shouldn't be a state priority and if they can't afford
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
there's also no way they're selling the team
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

Soldier Field aura remains undefeated. McCaskey may as well be trying to dig up GSH's bones.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Well, wonder how long the newest Soldier Field lease will be??
Posted by osklister

Why should I change my name; he's the one who sucks.*

He did this before drafting Caleb Williams too.
Posted by illini

Remember, he has his own PR firm to promote his personal brand*
Posted by longsnapper

I'm no PR pro, but I'm totally baffled they think this will help them.

One scenario I could see
Posted by CWR10

Well they better win on Saturday then*

Hammond Bears sounds perfect

Puh leeze. "Bear Down, (east) Chicago Bears..." *
Posted by osklister

Yeah East Chicago Bears has a better feel to it*
Posted by Tbag

This is stupid as when the Cubs threatened to go to Rosemont.*
Posted by gullit
|
WTF is with this timing*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
Supposedly the tribune was going drop a story about Indiana ambers tried to get ahead of it*

Biggest home game in more than a decade and this idiot wants the attention on him*

Has he even driven through Gary?

With this clown at the helm I can rest easy that the Bears will never leave Soldier Field.*

Full letter from Warren

“This is not about leverage”…. Ok kevin
Posted by FidelGoodell

How is everyone not calling for this guy to get fired?
Posted by illini
|
Because they're currently 10-4 with a chance of making the playoffs for the first time in 6 years
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

People had forgotten Kevin Warren existed, and he took that personally*
Posted by longsnapper
|
I have no idea what the prevailing Bears fans' sentiment is about the stadium
Posted by RVA
|
Soldier Field is awful and ANYTHING would be better*
Posted by bjl63
|
There’s a significant portion of STH that have Soldier Field specific PSL’s, so yes*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
correct. i’ll probably be out on the next stadium.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Not to mention I'm sure those in the city would prefer they stay in the city
