Maybe waiting is best option for Bears

I'm not from Chicago but have lived both in Illinois and Indiana (one-time employee of the Chicago Tribune, in full disclosure), so I thought I'd offer an outsider's “non-sports guy” point on the prospective Bears relocation to northwest Indiana.

During my time growing up in and around Washington D.C., the Redskins played at RFK Stadium, maybe a mile or two due east of the U.S. Capitol. Today it's the Commanders and they play at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. However, the plan as I understand it is that the team will return to a new stadium at the RFK campus, circa 2030.

So could this be a harbinger of what's to come? Homesick Bears at some point? Maybe holding at the 50-yard line, in a manner of speaking, is the best option.
