Although Indiana demonstrated strong intent by advancing SB 27 in February, the current market price of 43.5c for 'Yes' appears to overreact to what is historically a leverage play. The core obstacles are: 1. Sunk Costs: The Bears spent $197 million on land in Arlington Heights, IL; abandoning this asset creates a high economic barrier. 2. Time Window: The market requires an 'official announcement' by year-end 2026. Stadium due diligence and contract negotiations typically take years, not months. Even if the Bears favor Indiana, finalizing the legal process from intent to official announcement within 9 months is highly ambitious. Furthermore, the Illinois legislative spring session (ending in May) still offers a window for a counter-proposal. Thus, the probability of 'No' (status quo or missed deadline) is higher than currently priced.

Divergence
The market price (43.5%) implies a very high probability of relocation, diverging from the conventional wisdom in sports business. The mainstream view typically regards cross-state relocation threats as leverage plays to extract better terms at home, especially when the team already holds significant land assets (Arlington Heights) in the home state. The market is driven by short-term legislative news, overlooking the structural difficulties of finalizing a deal.
