Yeah, not yet.
I mean, to expand the search, it would indicate that the sides involved here, and I guess I wouldn't even necessarily say the two sides, but I would say the sides involved, yeah, are...
are still significantly far enough away, and especially the timeline that's been discussed here to get to the end of 2025.
And as a reference, we were just talking about this at the top of the show.
It's sunny outside.
The snow is melting.
Temperature is reasonable to get some shovels in the ground.
That's not happening by the end of this calendar year.
And the fact that the Bears were apparently informed that โ
this wouldn't be a priority in 2026 either, then it indicates to me that perhaps, at least my read on it, is that perhaps the Bears felt like there was some pressure attempting to be applied to them to accept what's on the table or we're just not going to make your stadium happen even next year.
So this seems to be, again, this just happened a few minutes ago, I haven't spoken to anyone from the Bears about it, but my interpretation of this is
the Bears perhaps felt like, well, if you're going to try to pressure us to say that this is perhaps your best and final offer,
We don't like your best and final offer.
So we're just going to expand our search beyond where we're at in Arlington Park.
That's initially โ this feels like perhaps the Bears are reacting to the idea that we feel you can do better.
We don't like where you're at.
So we're going to keep expanding our search then if you're telling us that this isn't going to happen in 2026.
Yes.
And you point that out not because Bears fans couldn't travel to the stadium because it's, what, 30 miles away from Chicago.
there.
