Bears Seek 2030 Stadium Opening

Team President Kevin Warren aims to select a site by spring or summer 2024, noting rising costs and market uncertainties make prompt decisions necessary. While Illinois lawmakers debate tax breaks for the Arlington Heights location, Indiana has authorized a stadium in Hammond with $2 billion from the team and $1 billion from the state.

Despite environmental concerns, Warren confirmed the Indiana site at Lost Marsh Golf Lake shows 'no issues' and offers 340 acres. The team continues evaluating both locations while working with Indiana officials on infrastructure needs.
