...to the Niners leaving Candlestick for Santa Clara.

1. No one calls them the Santa Clara Niners.
2. Everyone acted like it was this super sad thing to leave Candlestick...and I'm sure it was, sorta, at the time...
3. Virtually no one misses going to games at Candlestick.
4. Almost everyone I've spoken with indicates that it's a little harder to get to and from Santa Clara, but they've done a good job with those growing pains and the stadium itself is leaps and bounds ahead.

While I get the consternation of the Bears...this isn't like the Raiders up and moving to Las Vegas.

I always think about, whether or not they got it right, the Atlanta ballpark. Their stated goal was to get closer to the people who buy tickets. They botched the execuition, but they did get closer to their ticket buyers.

For all of the things you can say about Soldiers, it's greatest flaw is it's so hard to get to. When that road-block exists, and when the team sucks, it's hard to get people motivated to come because not only is the product on the field gonna suck, but then I'm gonna be angry sitting in 3 hours of traffic or however else people get to the stadium.

That will demonstrably not get better in Gary or Hammond, or wherever they decide to put this. You're going 30 miles minimum further away for your customers, which even if it's easier than Soldier's to get to, it's still not nearly as easy as it is to get to AH.

Even when they announced the new stadium on the current site (or adjacent) the argument was "OK... so are they gonna put an L stop there? What are they gonna do about parking and the ingress/egress of traffic on gameday?"

I think more than most sports venues in the world, there are two that stand out as location limited. Soldier's Field and Dodger Stadium.

they own the land, it has plenty of ways of getting to/from the location both with public and private transportation, it provides plenty of space for tailgating and other events, and w/o looking into it I'm guessing it's closer to a good percentage of their season ticket holders that live in the North & Northwest suburbs. Yeah some people are upset about them leaving the city and Soldier Field, but they'll get over it.

suggesting they'll move to NW Indiana is just dumb. No one believes they'll do it. this isn't like the New York/New Jersey situation where there's long been a relationship between the two. it provides none of the benefits that AH provides in terms of getting to/from the stadium and proximity to season ticket holders. it's purely a leverage play from Warren, despite what he says.

I guess Chicago (and the State of Illinois) ain't the same as Minnesota....

I'm glad JB continues to tell them no. This shouldn't be a state priority and if they can't afford

what they want then maybe they should sell the team.

There's no freaking way George McCaskey is moving the team to Indiana.

LOL.

Current lease goes to 2033, early termination in 2026. Don't know much about lease deals, but does that early termination agreement carry over to 2027, '28, etc?

Long and short of it is: no shovels in the ground soon, they'll have to do something with the City of Chicago about staying past 2026.

FWIW: story from the year 2023, with Lori Lightfoot being stubborn about things. :-O The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Do they think getting national attention will make JB or state reps backtrack or re-think their stance?

Does they think this tarnishes JB's national rep and therefore his Presidential aspirations? Hell if anything, I think he would use it as a badge of honor.

Just can't fathom why they would do this in this way other than "Yeah the Bears are a big story this week outside of the stadium, but Kevin Warren can use that to gets his name in the national press".
