A glance at the map shows the proposed area is basically juts over the border of Illinois and between the south east suburbs of Chicago and west of East Chicago Indiana.
Pretty much the same deal as the Pats not being in Boston, the 49ers not in San Francisco proper etc

Yeah it's just a move out of the city. Still a big move for a long standing franchise

I guess a person would have to be from Chicago to understand the ire. The NY Giants and Jets play in Jersey, the 49ers in Santa Clara and the Patriots in Foxborough. The Chicago metropolitan area encompasses parts of Indiana the entire region roots for Da Bears. Not having a dog in this fight my issue is the indoor stadium. When you think of Bears football in November-playoffs you think of the weather, just like Green Bay, Pittsburg and New England.
Personally I think football should be played outdoors buts that's just me. The Bears will be losing a bit of their identity when they move into a climate controlled environment.
