Would they actually let them host a Super Bowl in Hammond though?

They hosted a SB in New Jersey so it's not like they have any real standards.

I think Hammond or Chicago would get one. No more.  And of course they'll schedule as much of the non-game stuff in Chicago and not Hammond.  But they ain't making a return trip to either.  February in Chicagoland suuucks.  Even AT&T hasn't hosted a second SB.  NFL will continue to hammer home ARI, Miami, New Orleans, LA and maybe now Vegas.  Everyone else is in play like once a decade against another 4 or 5.

Or doing something really stupid like have the SB in Mexico City or London

No.

Hammond to Ohare is a nightmare.  I guess there is Midway.

People compare this to the Giants/Jets. Its like comparing apples to tire irons.

It is, but the people you'd need to care about that would be flying their PJ's into Gary and not deal with ORD to Hammond

The Bears are surveying people about the Hammond idea.  Everybody fill out the survey LOL

What do we think Brandon Johnson's "special announcement" is after the first bears game?  Do we think it is stadium related?

You know they're asking that income question and how many tickets did you buy question just so that anyone with low income and or those who didn't buy tickets in 2025 can basically be automatically thrown out.

Considering Kevin Warren has been playing him like a fiddle and the Bears desperately need leverage over AH, I'm sure it's stadium-related, but I'm also sure it's pants-on-head stupid.

I don't doubt you when you say it'll be dumb, but has KW really been playing him like a fiddle?  It seems like Warren doesn't know what he is doing and changes direction all the time.

Kevin Warren plays fiddle as well as Roseanne Barr sings the national anthem

Johnson's interview with Laurence Holmes in April 2024 over the proposed lakefront stadium was a complete embarrassment, and yes, he was stanning for KW:

He's still beating the lakefront stadium drum, despite the fact that the Lucas Museum lost badly in court and was chased out of Chicago when they attempted to build on the exact same site.

I mean, I get that Johnson should advocate for Chicago in all this, but it's just so painfully stupid watching how he's handling it.

[The_Achiever]

I want the Lakefront Stadium as well.  horsefeathers Indiana and horsefeathers Arlington Heights.  Hopefully Brando has something slick up his sleave (he won't).

I think it's a announcement about running for re-election. He's scheduling it at that time because he wants people to think it's stadium related so they tune in.

People love a good bait and switch.  Nobody cares about his raggedy ass unless he finds a way to keep the Bears in Chicago.

Apparently you get fewer questions if you say you didn't buy tickets.

Man, they're pretty optimistic about what they think they can charge for group/suite tickets.  I also left this message for them at the end.

Arlington Heights is the best option,  better than the lake front.  Best for ownership,  Best for a majority of season ticket holders.
