I loved Comiskey too. There was a bar right across the street (I forget the name) where they were more vocal when the Cubs lost than when the Sox won. True hate. Cubs fans don't like the White Sox, but the Sox fans really really hate the Cubs. They're a smaller more united group imo.

The Bears already have an amazing rivalry with the Packers. It's the oldest in the NFL. We hate each other. I mean really hate each other. We're the one's that named them the Cheeseheads. There's no way a new team that came to Chicago would have any kind of rivalry with the Bears like that one. The NFL would be stupid to even try. Just not going to happen.

I agree with Frank. If the Bears build a complex similar to SoFi in Chicago metro, it could be the richest franchise in all of sports. Bigger than the Cowboys. Heck the Cowboys weren't even a franchise until 1960. Bears fans hate the Cowboys with their self anointed "America's Team" mantra. You've got to remember Dallas was the only team in the south with an NFL team. They carried that whole region because of it.

By 1960 the Bears had 8 championships. They were the "Monsters of the Midway". To this day the Packers and the Bears still have the most championships, 12 and 9 respectively. History means everything.

"The pride and joy of ILLINOIS" is in the fight song they sing at every game. Moving The Chicago Bears out of Illinois would be heresy.

This isn't anything like the Chiefs moving to Kansas. This is historical. It would be like Alabama moving to Tennessee.
