That’s right because there’s Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS.

Yeah, they will still be in the Kansas City metro area proper.  Coach Andy Reid also quashed any rumors that Tyreek Hill might return to KC.  He said "nothing's happening there" at this time.  Things can always change, though.  Hill would have to come in on a really cheap "prove it" deal to get back to KC.

Some of the state legislation in Indiana passed a vote 95-4 supporting building a stadium for the Bears.  Next it would have to pass the state senate, then be signed by the governor who has said he agrees with the stadium. If everything does pass the plan for the stadium is a multi-billion-dollar dome covered field that could be used for events year around.  Possibly a future Super Bowl as well.  The NFL has requirements that need to be met for a stadium to host a Super Bowl, and they tend to like domes more than open air stadiums so that there is not weather interference.  The only way a place like Chicago gets a Super Bowl is with a dome.  The league likes to put the game in warm weather climates, but we have seen the SB played in places like Minneapolis and Detroit because they are indoors.  They did have it in New York/NJ one year but that is not typical and unlikely to happen again anytime soon.  

The Illinois governor is fighting to keep the Bears, but it is trending more towards the team going to Indiana. 

The stadium would likely cost the Indiana taxpayers at least 885 million dollars, with the possibility of it being much higher.  Meanwhile the city of Chicago still owes about 500 million on Solider Field for renovations that were done in 2023. Crazy.

Hopefully any new stadium HAS A ROOF on it because playing football in a blizzard north of I-40 can’t be fun at all.

Oh, one last thing…seeing that the taxpayers help finance the stadium, shouldn’t the taxpayers get tickets at a much more affordable prices?!? Ticket prices to a Raiders home game in the nose bleed section are, well, STUPID…gouging at its worse.
