Episode Details

The Chicago Bears are eyeing two major stadium sites: Arlington Heights, Illinois, and Hammond, Indiana. While the team’s board backed Hammond, Illinois lawmakers are pushing hard to keep them home — especially since the Bears own land in Arlington Heights and need tax relief to make it viable. A key tax bill failed before the session ended, but a summer special session could still save the deal. Governor JB Pritzker supports keeping the Bears in Illinois, and team leadership insists they want tax certainty — not tax avoidance. Meanwhile, Hammond’s move marks the first serious step toward leaving the state, though the exact site remains undecided. Indiana’s governor sees the potential economic upside, but environmental concerns around metal-extraction land loom large.
