I remember talking – I think it was Howard Pizer at the time.

I said, have you considered the fact that the Bears aren't – I mean, the Bulls aren't always going to have Michael Jordan to fill this house.

And he said, yeah, yeah, we figured that out.

And sure enough, as it turned out, it was – they were absolutely right because after the Jordan era when they were – the Bulls were as bad as any team could be, the exact opposite of what they said they didn't want to be, they still – they filled that – to this day, to this day, they filled that place like you would never believe.

Like, you know, who would have thunk it?

Yeah, they could fill that place.

So I don't know how I get off on that.

But anyway, no, no.

I mean, the point is, it is a factor, though, is like what happens when they're not good.

But but I still think they'll end up in Arlington Heights, not just because of the of the proximity of it.

And and that is in Illinois.

But just because if you looked at what they had, the plans for the whole the whole set up there, it just was the best.

It was it was everything.

If you if you if you could.

If the Bears are not going to play at Soldier Field or downtown, it was by far the best option.

And I think that's why I think it'll still end up there.

It's always been at least the most logical and keeping sentimental reasonings and my own selfish desires to see it.

I understand that that is in a lot of ways untenable if the Bears want what they're looking for in a stadium.

So I agree with you.

Yeah.
