Now The Federal Government Is Trying To Block A Chicago Bears Move To Indiana

The Chicago Bears are using a tried-and-true strategy to get a new stadium built after more than 50 years at Soldier Field: threaten to leave the state. It is something many teams in past decades have done. That is because it works. Local governments don’t want to draw the ire of fans from those teams and risk losing public support for future elections. So they eventually work out a deal that gives the owners what they want. That is why the McCaskeys decided to open the door to a possible move to Indiana.
