If you play in Indiana, but live in Chicago, I wonder what the tax ramifications would be.

On the surface it would seem like since they have to pay state tax to the states their away games are in, that theyd pay Indiana tax. But some of these cities, like NYC can want their taste if you reside there as your main residence.

What a freakin mess, and I will leave it here because the next points would probably be political, and best to avoid that.

Im a Bear's fan, I dont care about Illinois enough to require that in front of the name. I like tradition but the tradition doesnt lose its history because they move. When I watch video of Dick Butkus play, it isnt presented to me as Indiana. I would prefer they go to AH because its an hour away from me but from a technical view, the Indiana site is 40 minutes from where they play now.

Living in Illinois and how poorly its run doesnt unconditional get my loyalty . No state taxes and warm weather is an advantage over player movement but being a Bear gets you lots of endorsements you may not have somewhere else. A enclosed stadium will do more for getting some players, so do whatever it takes to get the new stadium.

Illinois income tax is 2 percent higher than Indiana. The sales tax in Cook county is 3.5 percent higher than the Indy Metro area. Property taxes and housing are ridiculously higher in Illinois. Jurko lives in Indiana and is constantly saying he prefers the "more house, less money" lifestyle of Indiana. That's coming from a native Chicagoan. Game checks are taxed in the state the stadium is in. I'm not sure about signing bonuses.
