Chicago > Iowa > Indiana
As a Quad Citian, I would be selfishly ok with this.
Des Bears 😂
I’m sure the state of Iowa would love finally having a pro sports team, though I feel like they’ve already decided allegiances to Bears/Vikings/Packers/Chiefs.
And also, GO HAWKS!
I’d wager most Chicagoans haven’t even seen the western side of Illinois/Iowa. It’s just such an unnatural direction to go

Dafuq outta here wit that sh!t 🐻👇
Leave.Us.Alone.
Id lmao if they were stupid enough to move to Iowa. It would be a death knell for organization & they’d lose money so fast
Why not have Racine and Paducah make bids too. Just make this maximum dumb.
At least Northwest Indiana is Chicagoland…
John Deere? Absolutely not. If they’re building a stadium, it’s not going to look like Lambeau Field’s farm team expansion project. Take that green and yellow up north where they already think cheese is a personality trait.
We’re getting to the wacko point of this drama, it needs to end lol
Des Bears hurts a little to read 😢
As a Des Moines Iowa Bears fan I would be ecstatic but it would be such a dumb move by the Bears
I moved to Iowa back in 2008, if I ever had to opportunity to move back to Chicago I would keep the Bears in Chicago.
