Indiana House Bill 1292 creates a professional sports development commission, which would develop a plan and recommendations for attracting a professional sports franchise to Northwest Indiana. The sponsor of the bill said it was drafted with the Bears in mind, but the region would take any pro sports team.

The Bears should leverage this situation as best as possible. It will definitely get the city and state to help kick in some funds. Otherwise the city and county can plan on losing 12% off of all ticket sales as well as all the sales tax from items sold in the stadium.
I just don’t see any possibility of doing that in IL. The problem is about $1 billion in related infrastructure costs, and nobody has the capacity for that.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
