Now this is getting out of hand
A bill in the Iowa State Senate was introduced seeking an expansion of its economic growth attraction program with a goal of luring an NFL franchise, specifically the Chicago Bears.

“While Illinois and Indiana squabble over this issue, we are ready to get off the sidelines and into the game."

Interesting few notes:

- Co-Owner Surack is only there for the Heliport

- Heliport stadium would need ~$220 Million

- The State is uncertain about the Heliport Plan, but supportive of MLS move

- "that they were done, there was no soccer stadium to come."
