I was still doing the analyst stuff for the Bears.

I could ride my bike to work.

You know, here, this is going to be the best.

And then I quickly got pulled aside by some pretty smart people in Palatine to say, hey, we got to –

We've got to temper us a little bit because there's a potential for some really major impacts on Palatine, and we've got to see everything before we can really jump on board.

So that's kind of where we've been.

We've continued to kind of hold the line that we believe this is going to be an unbelievable win for the whole region if it's done correctly.

But right now, everything's continued to kind of be speculative until we know exactly what's going on.

There's

We've asked for traffic studies.

We haven't seen a traffic study yet to see what the potential impact would be because, to be quite frank, Peloton and Rolling Meadows are going to be way more impacted traffic-wise than even Arlington Heights.

And so we obviously will see no tax benefits from it.

So as a fan, absolutely would be great to be able to, like I said, ride my bike to a game or be close by.

And one of the first things I said back when Ted Phillips was still involved in the process was,

just tell me one thing, Ted, there's going to be a Bears Hall of Fame with this, correct?

And he said, absolutely, because that's been my thing is there is no Bears Hall of Fame that us fans can go to and watch and go see and visit.

I keep being told by the people at the Bears, yeah, we have a Bears Hall of Fame.

It's called Canton.

We've got the most Hall of Famers in Canton.

If you want to go see the Bears Hall of Fame, you have to go to Canton.
