Rahimi & Grote Show · Geoff Buchholz talks Bears' mixed messages about their stadium plan · 1 Jun 2026 podcast

So you're telling me there's a chance?

And that was just enough of an opening for the Chicago delegation in the Senate to go, you know what?

Maybe this is not what we want to do.

So that torpedoes the whole megaprojects.

And then we get the UNO reverse from Cunningham in the Senate early this morning, which was passed at 3.40 a.m., which would have allowed any community over 70,000 people that's even a little bit in Cook County, because Arlington Heights is not 100% in Cook County, to set up their own sports facilities authority, which would have...

opened up for bids so the Bears would have an opportunity to review a number of different bids to build a stadium.

They would pay to build the stadium, which would then be publicly owned, so it wouldn't be subject to property tax, which theoretically is the property tax relief that they would have wanted.

And so it passes, and then we're all watching.

A lot of people are watching in the house.

I rolled in here about 4 a.m.,

I'm watching the feed from Springfield, and I see Chris Welch, the House speaker, get up, and I think he's going to try a direct introduction of this bill.

And instead, he moves for adjournment and says, you know, we're going to be talking about a lot of issues over the summer, including the fate of the Chicago Bears.

And we were like, oh, all right then.

Good night, everybody.

Stay tuned for The Simpsons.

They're on next.

So, because the bill, the Bears...

Either version of the Bears proposal would not have taken immediate effect.

It wouldn't have needed that three-fifths majority that it would have needed had they waited, you know, if they passed it after midnight.

It would still have been okay with a simple majority.
