Chicago Bears getting snubbed by Illinois Senate on stadium: Report
It appears all sides in Illinois are caving on the idea that the Chicago Bears should remain in the state.
At the request of the NFL Stadium Committee, the Bears are expected to reveal whether they intend to build at the location at Arlington Heights or Hammond, Indiana, by at least late summer.
Cook County released a report suggesting it might be in the better interest of Illinois’ taxpayers to see the stadium built in Hammond, a location that’s closer to Chicago than Arlington Heights. Chicago would still receive an economic boost from the site in Indiana, while taxpayers in the Hoosier state would deal with the stadium cost.
Per Chris Emma of The Score, the Bears have a big week regarding their stadium ambitions. The Illinois legislative session ends on Sunday. With a few days to go, the Senate has snubbed the Bears, not even scheduling the megaprojects legislation that passed the House in April for a Senate committee.
“The Bears’ stadium exploration has entered a critical few days,” Emma posted on X. “The spring legislative session in Springfield ends May 31 and the megaprojects bill, which passed through the state house last month, hasn’t even been scheduled for a Senate committee.
“Deadlines spur action — and especially in politics. But without a deal at the Illinois Capitol, a move to Indiana becomes more realistic.”

The Bears wanted extra amendments added to the megaprojects legislation that passed the House. The Senate has been balking at passing the bill. Last week, some members of the Senate were put off by reports that the Bears reached out to Chicago about potentially building in the City.
The Bears haven’t helped their cause, failing to finalize a traffic study for the Arlington Heights project. They can’t be too upset at Illinois if the Senate can’t pass the bill at this point, as they neglected to do their due diligence.
