Indiana, Illinois Race for Bears Stadium

Indiana continues to advance in the competition to host the next Bears stadium, with the state Senate passing a bill 45-4 that now awaits Governor Mike Braun's approval. The legislation would help fund a venue near the Illinois border.

Meanwhile, Illinois legislative committee has moved forward with a bill that would lay the groundwork for the Bears to build a stadium on property they own in Arlington Heights. Both states appear to be nearing decision time, though the Bears have yet to finalize any deal with either entity.
