Chicago Bears fans are still trying to process the news that their team's move to Indiana is almost a reality.

After the bill hearing in Illinois to discuss the Bears' new stadium was canceled, news broke that Indiana would pass its bill to allow the football team to begin construction in Hammond, Indiana. Despite statements from Indiana's governor and the Bears expressing excitement over the news, Illinois still seems poised to keep its team in the state.

104.3 The Score's host Mark Grote shared on the "Take The North" podcast that Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is "pretty motivated" to keep the Bears within the state.
