1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about the Bears.

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 2: Okay, obviously you spent a lot.

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Of time talking about IU football, and it is I

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: use special Day as it should be latterday.

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 2: I love it as I loved it, you know, just great,

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: I did it. I was up till two o'clock in

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 2: the morning watching the post game and scan in Twitter

8
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: for everything I U. But there was also another big

9
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 2: football game over the weekend and it was the Bears

10
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 2: on Sunday night.

11
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they lost. So the city of Gary, I

12
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: like pointing that out, you do. The City of Gary

13
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: has released renderings of three potential sites for a new

14
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears stadium, India trying to lure the Bears away

15
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: from Chicago and Illinois.

16
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we could go back and talk about you know,

17
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 2: the Bears play at Soldier Field. It's owned by the

18
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: city of Chicago. It's not owned by the Bears. They

19
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: are just a tenant. Every NFL team in the world

20
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: wants the city and state that they're in to buy

21
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: them a free new stadium. Chicago said no. So the

22
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: Bears were going to look and buy some property in

23
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: Arlington Heights, which is a Western suburb, and the fascinating

24
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: thing about this is a lot of this so funny.

25
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: A lot of this has come down to property taxes,

26
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: because if the Bears build in Arlington Heights, they figured

27
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: out that their property taxes would be seventy five million

28
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: dollars a year. In Indiana it'll be zero.

29
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: So the sites include Gary West End near hard Rock Casino,

30
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: Buffington Harbor, which is a lakefront location near Lake Michigan,

31
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: and also Miller Beach near the Indiana Dudes, which already

32
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: sees millions of visitors and that would just mean even more.

33
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: The renderings were pretty Is it going to happen? Gary,

34
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

35
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: The Bears are going to get back in ninety.

36
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: Four it didn't work then, is it going to work now?

37
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: We'll see
