It's kind of a microcosm of where we are in this process.

And this process, the idea of it in applying it to many things, not just specifically the Bears stadium.

Wow.

It's quite something.

And is what Indiana is offering at all akin to what the state of Kansas is offering, from your perspective?

Listening to Cam Buckner really break it down and understanding that we talk about things in a very simplistic way compared to the multiple layers that all of the people involved in the conversations, the talks, the negotiations, the way they think about things is so much more layered.

And he's certainly right about other people in Indiana, other organizations in Indiana being like, hey, I see all this free cheese you're giving out.

Where's ours?

Well, we're making actual progress here.

Just compare this to the same time finding out the White Sox won a new ballpark and the governor issuing, hey, you guys need to work this out between each other because we don't have money to just be thrown out here.

So I thought that was interesting.

And to learn just that...

The Bears now are probably going to build in Arlington Heights.

That's the way it looks, anyway, from my vantage point.

I think there's a world in which they can sell the land, but to your point, it's already kind of predestined that way.

They chose their destination.

I assume it is the final destination.

But, you know, it's interesting to hear everybody else kind of getting a voice out there and trying to chime in and trying to get something going their way.

It's become quite laborious, tedious, which are all things that can happen before you buy the land.

Because if you have everything worked out, now bought land, built land, shovels in the ground.
