They still own the land in Arlington Heights and they still have a lease with the Park District. May be another bluff. Who knows. It's a bad deal for taxpayers in either state regardless. The McCaskey's clearly don't want to sell and seem to be in desperate need of the $$$. If NWI ends up with a new stadium, there's no way in hell the Bears are buying it back in 40 years...
I'd prefer the stay in the city, but I doubt the southland / NWI have seen this big an investment since the 70s or 80s at the latest. Silver linings
