The deal was done.

The deal was done.

Now, that's why this last thing that was mentioned both by the governor of Indiana today and the Bears in terms of the actual stadium site and doing their due diligence on that to make sure it's feasible for all this matters because...

There was essentially that same stage right before construction was going to begin in Hartford, Connecticut.

They found contamination in the site.

So there was that issue.

Meanwhile, though, Massachusetts put together a better offer and they reversed course and they went back to Foxborough and they built the new stadium there, which is the stadium the Patriots currently play in.

So is it possible that...

Because that actually was even farther along than where this is, although this is pretty close to that at this point with what happened in Indiana today.

Is it possible that all goes down?

It is.

There's two problems, though.

And one goes back to what we just talked about.

I find it hard to believe Illinois is going to be able to come up with a deal that is better.

a better financial deal than what Indiana is offering right now.

I don't see how that's possible.

The second, too, is more of the emotional component, all this.

And the reality is, and you're seeing it play out in real time this morning,

with now the governor's office trying to say, hey, we were ready to do this.

What happened?
