Indiana, Illinois Vie for Bears Stadium Site

Indiana and Illinois are both moving forward on legislation to host the next Chicago Bears stadium, with Indiana's Senate passing a bill and Illinois advancing a plan for Arlington Heights.

The Indiana Senate approved a bill by a 45‑4 vote that would help fund a Bears stadium near the Illinois border, sending the proposal to Governor Mike Braun.

Meanwhile, an Illinois legislative committee advanced a bill to lay the groundwork for a stadium on team‑owned property in Arlington Heights, keeping the Chicago option in play.
