Chicago Bears
SPRINGFIELD — The Bears have thrown out myriad options for where the team would like to make their future home.
But whether its next to Soldier Field, or in Arlington Heights, or on the former Michael Reese Hospital site, all those plans involve some public money.
Now, one state lawmaker wants to put a big condition on providing any public money: The Bears have to win.
State Rep. Bob Morgan, D-Highwood, introduced new legislation requiring sports teams seeking taxpayer assistance to have won at least half their games in three of the last five seasons.
