Adam Hoge: Bears aren't bluffing about potentially moving to Indiana

How is revenue going to be shared from, let's say they put a concert in there.

Adam Hoge: Bears aren't bluffing about potentially moving to Indiana

It's going to have a roof so you can have concerts in January, February, March, whenever, when the weather's bad, all of that stuff is money that if you own the stadium goes in the owner's pockets and does not need to, uh, be shared with the players.

In Arlington Heights, it's very clear.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Adam Hoge: Bears aren't bluffing about potentially moving to Indiana

The Bears already own the property.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Adam Hoge: Bears aren't bluffing about potentially moving to Indiana

How that's going to work out in Indiana, I don't know yet, but it does seem like the Bears are going to benefit from it.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Adam Hoge: Bears aren't bluffing about potentially moving to Indiana

Maybe they don't quite benefit the same way as quickly as they would in Arlington Heights.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Adam Hoge: Bears aren't bluffing about potentially moving to Indiana

So that is one of the benefits of still being in Arlington Heights.

There's a lot of fans upset.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Adam Hoge: Bears aren't bluffing about potentially moving to Indiana

They don't like the idea that the Bears will move out of the state of Illinois.

Adam Hoge: Bears aren't bluffing about potentially moving to Indiana

I'm getting texts from...

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Adam Hoge: Bears aren't bluffing about potentially moving to Indiana

People all over that are laughing at this.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Adam Hoge: Bears aren't bluffing about potentially moving to Indiana

And there is that component of this too.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Adam Hoge: Bears aren't bluffing about potentially moving to Indiana

And it's the component that so many, including myself, have found it hard to believe in recent weeks as this has continued to advance in Indiana.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Adam Hoge: Bears aren't bluffing about potentially moving to Indiana

Would George McCaskey actually leave the state of Illinois and is willing to take that hit?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Adam Hoge: Bears aren't bluffing about potentially moving to Indiana

As moving a team that was founded in the state of Illinois, been in Chicago since the second year the franchise existed, to actually move them out, that seemed hard to believe.

Adam Hoge: Bears aren't bluffing about potentially moving to Indiana
