Caitlin Clark is pretty excited about the possibilities of the Chicago Bears actually relocating to Iowa after their plans of creating a new stadium in their current city hangs in doubt. The Bears franchise has been desperately searching for a new site for their stadium.
It looks like the franchise is looking far and wide for their new home, with Iowa coming in as a strong contender. Apparently, Iowa has passed a new bill to create a space for an NFL team and are hoping that the Bears come in at that, and Clark was among the many to show her disbelief at the turn of events.
“Iowa wants the Chicago Bears (bear emoji) Iowa is aiming to lure the Bears with a new bill including language for an NFL stadium, saying, ‘While Illinois and Indiana squabble over this issue, we are ready to get off the sidelines.’ Iowa does not have a major men’s or women’s professional sports team, but it does have minor league clubs in baseball, hockey, basketball and soccer. Iowa’s push to lure the Bears across state lines comes after the city of Gary, Indiana, last month released renderings of potential stadium concepts described as ‘plug-and-play’ locales for a new, domed stadium and a mixed-use development. Gary, situated in Northwest Indiana, is about 30 miles away from Soldier Field. In Illinois, the Bears have had serious discussions about a new stadium in downtown and the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights…”FrontOfficeSports wrote.
“This is not something I’d thought I’d see (laughing with tears emoji x4)”Caitlin Clark commented.

Of course, Caitlin Clark was not the only one who commented on the report, with many sports fans chattering about the topic in the responses. While many are actually hoping that the move takes place, others feel that the decision might prove costly to both sides.
Caitlin Clark Is Not The Only One Who Is Surprised
Caitlin Clark’s disbelief at the rumors about the Bears moving to Iowa is being shared by numerous other fans in the comments. Several called out that the Bears will be making a messy decision if they decide to go to Iowa, while many residents of Iowa itself feel that a stadium in Gary would be unintelligent.
Others feel that fans in Chicago will undoubtedly not like such a decision and will riot in the streets if something like this ever comes to pass. However, nothing has been confirmed as such and only time will tell as to where the Bears will choose to make their home next.
