Chicagoland can definitely support 2 teams, the only problem is the Bears can veto any new team expansion, and you better believe they will. They do not want to lose any market share to some new upstart team.

I wholeheartedly agree. If the Bears move to AH, and they win the Super Bowl and contact the city about doing a parade, the city should simply reply "we don't have an NFL team here, wrong number" and hang up.
This is, again, assuming that the Bears actually move. I have a feeling the decision isn't as easy as it appears. There will be damn close to zero public funds going to this new stadium. The state definitely isn't going to give them anything, and neither is Cook County since SF is already within county limits. AH might be able to offer them something, but its going to be a drop in the bucket.
