Whether that's an upfront payment from the McCaskey family to the city, whether that's a couple of cents off concessions at whatever the new stadium is.

I'm sure that's being worked out and those conversations are still going on.

In terms of acting CFO Maher's appearance at the committee today, it felt a lot like too little too late.

Clearly, the energy in this is either they're either going to Arlington Heights to the property they own or to the state of Indiana.

It sounds as though...

From what we've heard about the NFL's view about a lakefront stadium, that the city is not an option here, but the city still wants to be part of whatever that conversation is, and usually, as you know, Marshall, that involves money.

Yeah.

I think the – it's important to remember, of course, the Bears aren't going anywhere in the short term.

They're at Soldier Field until 2033 in a facility that is owned by the Chicago Park District.

And the Bears are paying rent there.

And I imagine that what the Bears may look to do if indeed they can get somewhere this year on wherever their stadium is going to be is they may negotiate – and they have that right under the lease –

negotiate an early out uh and that would involve paying some money and i imagine that that's how they would do that's how anybody would do that if you know if i wanted to break my lease on my apartment i would have to give my landlord something that's probably what that's probably how that's going to wind up looking would be my guess essentially it's it's a lease penalty like if you or i are breaking an apartment lease or something along those lines yeah exactly slightly larger penalty is what i'm guessing than yeah any of us breaking our leases

Not as concerned about the hole in the wall, right?

And that review was streamlined.

Basically, the sponsor of the original legislation looked at the amendments in the House and said, now we're good, and sent it right to the floor.

So that the vote when that vote happens in Indiana, then that's going to be it and it'll be headed to Governor Braun's desk.

We believe it will happen today.

It is the first thing on the docket.

That's a good question.

It has been read in for a second reading on the floor.
