It's sort of a dance, and I think our state is much better equipped to handle a new stadium for the Bears with a fair deal.

It's fair to taxpayers and just doesn't give away the store, and I think that that ultimately will prevail, but

there's going to be a lot of talking going on and negotiating.

And I think that it's important for our elected officials to stand up for taxpayers to make sure that we get a fair shake.

But we're willing to do a lot of good things.

You're going to spend nearly a billion dollars building highways and infrastructure to help the stadium in Arlington Heights and also the

development around that, that's a major investment.

And I think I saw with the Indiana deal, they want to raise tolls on how to get there.

So I'm not sure Vans fans are too happy about that.

The ticket price alone, they're increasing ticket prices this year, again, 13%.

And I think over the last three years, Bears ticket prices have gone up about 30 to over 30%.

So, you know,

I think Papa Bear would agree with that.

And I don't think Papa Bear wants, it's one thing to move from Decatur to Chicago for the Bears, but not to move out of Illinois.

We're the pride and joy of Illinois.

George Halas played football, I believe, for the University of Illinois.

The colors are orange and blue.

And let's not forget the people of our state have loyally supported the Bears for decades.

Well, I think basically that February 27th deadline in Indiana...

Marshall, is why they're trying to push this right now.
