Bears to decide stadium location by end of June

Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott expects the Chicago Bears to make a decision on their new stadium location by the end of June, with Indiana being the favored option after Illinois failed to pass a funding bill.

The Bears are still deciding between Indiana and Illinois for their new stadium location. With the Illinois legislature failing to pass a bill that would help finance a new facility in Arlington Heights, Hammond, Indiana has become the only viable option according to the Bears' previous statements. livefromquarantine.club

Mayor McDermott expressed confidence in Indiana's proposal, stating, 'Indiana did what they were asked to do. Illinois couldn't do what they were asked to do. So I'm confident the Bears are going to choose Hammond.' He believes the Bears will offer a superior fan experience with an 'awesome stadium in an awesome location' and expects an answer within 30 days.
