Summary
51.8% of respondents in a Chicago Sun-Times X poll said the Bears are most responsible for the messy stadium saga, versus 32.3% for Springfield and 15.9% for City Hall.
62.5% said their support would stay the same if the Bears play in Hammond, Indiana, while 33.8% said they would support the team less and just 3.8% said more.
Reaction to the Hammond plan skewed muted rather than enthusiastic, with comments ranging from outrage at public officials to disappointment mixed with hope for Hammond’s economy.
The polling followed the Bears' announcement that they are moving forward with a stadium project in Hammond, though the report noted the team still might not ultimately choose that route.
