Nothing other than having a centralized location for all their operations and only one place for players to have to commute to. They're obviously not terribly far from each other (30-40 min drive, 25ish miles) but it just occurred to me when thinking of how the Bulls moved their operations near the UC from Deerfield. Way fewer games for the Bears, obviously. Having an even shinier and newer facility if they're investing all of this money anyway. I guess it's probably not worth wasting the land on a few practice fields, though. Yea and I'd think the business of a stadium area would be a nuisance anf possible distraction. I know Dallas combined their stadium and practice facility, but I'm not sure about any other teams who have. It's Green Bay but I know the Packers do. But yeah, it's Green Bay.
