Bears Near Choice Between 2 Indoor Stadium Sites in Illinois or Indiana, Goodell Says
6 articles · Updated · NBC Sports · May 20
Two indoor stadium proposals are now viewed as viable options for the Bears — one in Arlington Heights, Illinois, and one in Hammond, Indiana — after NFL owners received an update at league meetings.
Roger Goodell said Hammond has already presented its case, while the Arlington Heights proposal is nearing its final details, setting up what he described as a decision between two workable sites.
That choice would end the franchise's run in Chicago, where the Bears have played for more than a century.
The remaining question is whether the team stays in Illinois with an Arlington Heights move or leaves its home state for Indiana.
After a century in Chicago, does the Bears' move prove that loyalty between sports teams and their home cities is dead?
Why do cities still offer billions in public funds for stadiums when economists agree it's a losing deal for taxpayers?
