I was almost surprised to hear today, them say that the bears are going to put 2 billion towards this in Indiana.

Um, but you know, if they are, that's even more reason for why they should get done because that's, that's, that helps the state of Indiana on their end of all of this as well.

Um,

What really just needs to be finalized, I think, is the actual location near Wolf Lake in in Hammond, which they know that it hasn't really been quite put on a map for the rest of us yet.

And then just the due diligence that is necessary in both the team and the governor of Indiana today in there.

The respective statements indicated that that is still a last hurdle.

You know, the actual site, the due diligence to know that, hey, this is viable to actually put a mega project.

And that, of course, goes beyond just the stadium site.

There's the issues of the of the Indiana toll road, which is going to help.

fund this project.

That was also part of the news this morning in Indiana.

And what happens with the Skyway where it costs $16 just one way to go through there right now?

If you're coming from the city, there's a lot of questions that need to be answered from that standpoint.

Yeah, I mean, look, the deal is going to be more favorable for the Bears in Indiana.

I think part of the issue here is like this morning, as their list, they were very clear in Indiana today how they're going to fund it.

I mean, from bond issuance.

to a Hammond tax to repay it.

They already have the blueprint from Lucas Oil Stadium.

It's very similar to how they funded Lucas Oil Stadium, which has been very successful down there.

They're going to renegotiate the lease with the Indiana Toll Road to help repay for the infrastructure that will be needed in Hammond.
