Chicago Bears LEAVE CHICAGO w/ Matthew Williams
What was said
"Hammond offered zero taxes for 40 years, $1 billion in funding from Indiana for the stadium, and $700 million towards Indiana infrastructure. Arlington offered $500 to $200 million annual tax bill, nothing for the stadium and nothing for infrastructure costs."
According to NFL analyst Ben Devine, Indiana's Hammond offered the Bears what may be the most generous stadium deal in NFL history: no taxes for 40 years, $1 billion in stadium funding, and $700 million for infrastructure. This deal, which the Bears board voted to accept, vastly exceeded anything Illinois was willing to provide.
