Good to see they are paying attention. I don't know what they can easily do, other than offer a bus shuttle from Hammond Gateway... but if the state or the team is willing to chip in some funding, there are a few different rail spurs into the stadium site (IHB or CSX) that could be used to offer a rail shuttle service or even direct trains from downtown Chicago.

Tracks might need to be rebuilt to offer a decent speed/ride quality. They'd also need some diesel locos to haul the cars on unpowered trackage, and some kind of half-decent boarding platform near the new stadium. But it certainly seems possible to set up a decent service for well under $100M.
