What are they saying right now as they decide to cancel?

Cancel this meeting.

There it is.

That's what we're still trying to figure out.

Additionally, Hammond, as Mark Rohde reported earlier in the week on Tuesday, seemed to be what was in play.

We know Portage had a pitch that involved private equity financing a Bears stadium.

Hammond is ready to partner with the Chicago Bears, is what the mayor said, telling your station, ABC7, and that we've had excellent conversations with the Bears and we are forging a relationship that would be a foundation for a public-private partnership.

Which AKA means, are they getting the money that they can't get from the state after buying the land and not getting what they wanted?

Public pays bears profit.

And the statement that you saw is from Adam Hogue tweeted that earlier today.

And Adam Hogue will be on with us at 11 o'clock this morning.

Again, we ask the question, who pays, who loses, who benefits?

So what's next?

Until they sell the land, and you said it, oh, they can just sell the land.

I don't think it's that simple necessarily, but I want to say this.

Until they sell that land, I'll believe it when I see it.

Until you have a deal in place, until there's a bill outlining how much the state of Indiana wants to put up for your stadium, then we still are all just waiting.

And while you put on this theater...

We're all spending time and effort on this.

And I just wonder how much and at what cost.
