Flip a coin. This is what it has come down to for the Bears stadium chances in the state of Illinois.
At least this is the view of one Illinois state senator and she isn't even a Bears fan. After all of the debate and consideration of two separate plans for funding an Illinois stadium, along with the Indiana plans the Bears are more aggressively pursuing, Illinois State Sen. Sue Rezin of the 38th District on Tuesday told Shaw Newspapers it's even money on the in-state plan succeeding.
“I would give it a 50-50 chance to have the Bears stay in Illinois,” Rezin said.
Her assessment of an Illinois plan definitely didn't break new ground and the whole project remains shrouded in uncertainty, even for Indiana.
“I think if they do stay in Illinois, they more than likely will be in the suburbs just because they purchased a couple hundred acres there and it’s easier to build out the transportation and the logistics for the Bears stadium as well,” Rezin told Shaw.
