I don't think they want to build in Indiana.
I think they want to build in Arlington Heights, but they understand if...
The Arlington Heights thing doesn't work out.
They will build in Indiana.
I think it's that simple, but not simple because I still don't know what their financial threshold is for how much they're willing to put into the stadium point blank period.
As far as having in Arlington Heights versus having in Indiana, we know about the $2 billion of their own money.
if it's an Indiana thing.
But I think, you know, push comes to shove.
They want to build in Arlington Heights and they're going to do everything in their power to make sure that that happens.
And if it's outside of their power to get it done in a way that they don't think financially they can do it and it makes sense.
Then, yeah, they'll end up in Indiana.
But that's all I've really learned.
They've let everybody know publicly, privately.
There's no secrets.
Indiana and Illinois are vying to have the Bears build in those two places.
What I learned, or maybe had confirmed, we collectively had confirmed, is...
Kevin Warren and the Bears hurt everybody's feelings in the state of Illinois when they released that statement on Thursday boasting the progress that they had made in Indiana.
Everybody got rattled by that.
And so Kevin Warren and the Bears came back and said, paraphrasing, we like you too, Illinois.
We have renewed focus in Arlington Heights.
