Bears Head to Indiana for New Stadium

The Chicago Bears are ditching Illinois for Northwest Indiana, officially voting to build their new stadium in Hammond after state funding fell through. The team sees it as a unifying force for Chicagoland, while Indiana Governor Mike Braun calls it a historic economic win, likening it to the legendary 85 Bears defense. Meanwhile, Illinois officials remain open to a fair deal but criticize the team’s past stadium delays, highlighting a major shift for a franchise rooted in Chicago since 1920.
