It looks like the Chicago Bears could be on their way up the road and set to play home games at a new stadium in Hammond, Indiana.
Well, that's what's being said.
The Bears are indeed looking for a new home. I'm under the impression that Illinois is still hopeful to keep the team in its US State. However, Indiana reps have given the thumbs up for a potential Bears move to Hammond, which is relatively close to Illinois.
It's headed for a Mexican standoff.
Until then, here's how I would like the designs of a Hammond stadium to look.
'Why the leg lamp from A Christmas Story?' I suspect some of you might be wondering. Others could be pondering 'why a leg lamp!?' Well - here's why.
Hammond, Indiana is where Jean Shepherd grew up as a child. Therefore, some of the events in his books and the films that spun off from Shepherd's writing, are set in Hammond.
It would only be fitting for the Hammond stadium to honour the legendary raconteur.
But, that's IF such a move were to happen.
I sense this is a game of chicken between the Bears and Illinois. Time will tell on that one.
In the meantime, remind the designers the leg lamp is Italian because it has FRAGILE written on its container.
