Chicago Bears shift focus to Wolf Lake site in Hammond, Indiana, after SB 27 committee approval; Illinois talks stall.
Blago from the top rope. The Chicago Bears are one step closer to leaving Chicago - and the state of Illinois altogether - after lawmakers in Indiana advanced a bill this morning that would help clear the way for the team to build a new stadium in the neighboring state.
The Indiana House Ways and Means Committee unanimously approved a stadium framework bill that lays the groundwork for a potential deal between the state and the Bears. Gov. Mike Braun said Indiana has identified a promising site near Wolf Lake in Hammond and has set up a broad structure to negotiate a final agreement.
