Summary
Tiny village McCook, with just 268 residents, boldly rolled up to Halas Hall with a two-billion-dollar stadium proposal—complete with mayor and police chief in tow. Their plan? Buy a quarry site, build a domed stadium, hand it over to the village (tax-free!), then rent it back to the Bears for a dollar a year. It’s a sneaky way to dodge property taxes and keep the team in Illinois, unlike the stalled Arlington Heights deal. While the Bears still eye Indiana, McCook’s audacious pitch could shake things up—and might just force them to take a second look.
