I don't think that legislation passed, did it?

Were I the Bears, I'd make the move. It's not like the Giants don't sell out the Meadowlands, and I don't see Johnson as having any sway over the issue. If the Bears can't make Arlington Heights work then might as well take the Indiana deal. Certainly a more motivated legislature.

I'd be holding out for a better site than Wolf Lake though. Looking at the map, I'd want some kind of environmental cleanup deal to set up shop on the lakefront, which is going to make the entertainment district a lot more valuable in the long run for summer concerts et al... Looks like there's an Amtrak stop right there as well.
