This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!
Move them to Alaska at this point lol
Are the people with Iowa fine with their senators wasting time on this shit?
Iowa gets the Bears, we get first pick of your college players.
Nice. Can’t wait for someone to argue that Iowa is practically Chicago.
“Iowa! We exist, we’re right over here!”
That’s actually hilarious.
To troll, a representative from Green Bay should file a bill to have the Bears move there to share Lambeau with the Packers.
Getting so tired of these headlines. The Bears aren’t playing in small town Iowa or Indiana
Whether or not the Bears moving to Indiana is a serious risk or a bluff, there is zero chance they’re moving to Iowa. I don’t even think the league would approve that move.
Fuck it, keep going down I-80 to Nebraska.
I think Iowa should have an NFL franchise. Take the Jaguars out of Florida and rename them the Des Moines Pumas or something. They could even stay in the AFC South, despite being more north than Indianapolis.
At this point, just take a page out of the Patriots’ book and become the Midwest Bears. What city is more Midwest than Cedar Rapids?
Move the bears to Calgary, Canada. They can share McMahon stadium (it’s a huge shithole) with the stampeders and I bet the boys would really enjoy the stampede.
i propose the build the stadium in the lot behind my house that used to be a little league field. i mean, since we’re all getting in on it
As a Bears fan living in Salt Lake City, I am really excited to see them eventually play next door to the Phoenix Coyotes…Utah Mammoths.
Red states are simping for billionaires so hard right now.

Ok Seth, that’s enough
As a Canadian how about coming up here to Calgary? Can keep the C logo easily enough.
The Iowa Gary Bears of Chicago?
Ah yes, the Clinton Bears.
Bears to Kentucky!
Not now Iowa
Tryin to get that sweet, sweet Quad Cities money, eh?
I’m so sick of this shit lol
Weirdly enough. Iowa is ridiculous and enough for me to not even be mad
Jesús Christ I’m a Hawkeye and a Bears fan and don’t want this to happen. Just pure idiocy.
Imagine being an Iowa resident right now. They live in a State that’s been gutted by tariffs, 1/8 of Iowa residents need food assistance, 2/3 of Iowans saw their healthcare costs go up dramatically, their GDP is 49th in the country, 200,000 people can’t afford their gas/electric bill right now, and yet they’re all about giving tax breaks and other incentives to a private business with billionaire owners. Think about that. Talk about a big F-you to the residents.
