Chicago Bears shift focus to Wolf Lake site in Hammond, Indiana, after SB 27 committee approval; Illinois talks stall.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said he was "surprised" after the Chicago Bears signaled a shift to Indiana in a new statement on a potential stadium as Indiana lawmakers moved forward with a bill to bring the team to Hammond.
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.
