Rahimi & Grote Show · Best of the Bears: We’re still on stadium watch · 4 Jul 2026 podcast

I'm one of those guys.

Listen, I live in the South Loop.

It's an easier drive for me, and I'm a season ticket holder, have been since the late 60s.

All right, so as a season ticket holder, I...

Listen, truth be told, I wish they were staying at Soldier Field because I live right across the street from Soldier Field.

But Hammond, Indiana is an easier drive for me than it is to go to Arlington Heights.

Having said that, you're right.

There are enough fans out there, Mike, who have been squeezed out of the opportunity to buy season tickets and in this case would have the opportunity to buy a PSL and season tickets.

But there's more than just that.

There's naming rights to the stadium.

I guarantee you, I've talked to enough people, the value of naming rights for a Bears stadium in Arlington Heights is far greater than the naming rights to a Bears stadium in Hammond, Indiana.

It just is what it is.

There's so many other things at play here that we're going to have to wait and see.

But first things first, test the soil.

See if it's even possible to do it in northwest Indiana.

And if it's not, what's next?

And forget the deadline.

I know we ran Kevin Warren.

I've given up on the deadlines.
