Chicago Bears Re-Engage City On Michael Reese Site Amid Growing Indiana Threat

The Chicago Bears have been fighting for three years to gain headway on a potential new stadium. It felt like Arlington Heights was the obvious choice. Then Kevin Warren pivoted to a downtown stadium on land south of Soldier Field. Governor J.B. Pritzker and the Illinois government refused to entertain the idea. So the Bears shifted back to Arlington. However, the state still refused to consider any public assistance for the move. As a result, Warren declared the team would reopen the search, this time expanding into Indiana.
