Bears Shift Focus to Hammond for New Stadium | Chicago Bears News

The Chicago Bears are pivoting their stadium search to Hammond, Indiana, after Illinois stalled on concrete plans. Team leaders Kevin Warren and George McCaskey say the state offered nothing substantial, pushing them to explore alternatives — including the Lost Marsh and Wolf Lake Terminal sites in Hammond. While they frame past delays like the Arlington Heights effort as learning experiences, critics question their accountability. The Bears remain committed to their name and are reporting “very, very good progress” in Indiana — though no final decisions or blueprints exist yet. Four years into this marathon, the team is doubling down on Hammond as their best shot for a modern home. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
