Bears Head to Indiana for New Stadium | Chicago News

The Chicago Bears are moving full steam ahead with a $2 billion stadium plan in northwest Indiana, eyeing sites in Hammond—including the already-vetted Lost Marsh Golf Course and the still-under-review Wolf Lake Terminals—with potential to combine both. While Illinois lawmakers have been largely silent, Indiana has stepped up with $1 billion in state funding and a collaborative approach. Governor Pritzker remains open to a special session to keep the team in Illinois, but the Bears haven’t yet submitted a concrete proposal. Team leadership insists fans will embrace the new world-class stadium—even if it’s outside the city—emphasizing that the Bears’ identity remains tied to Chicago.
