They're gone. I'm deeply concerned about them leaving the state, but I have to again remind you it's a private business, and we can't force them to stay anywhere.

And so the question is, just like any other business, what are the incentives for staying or moving, for growing in place? (12:27–12:35)

CLAIM

Asserts that the Chicago Bears are obligated to pay rent on Soldier Field until their lease ends, which is several years away.
