Bears Stadium Dream: Arlington or Hammond?

On March 31st, Chicago bear is still grinding on that new stadium dream, but it's been a three-year hustle with no touchdown yet.

Team President Kevin Warren steering the ship, eyeing two spots now, the Arlington Parkland they've owned for over three years in Arlington.

Heights and a fresh option at Wolflake and Hammond, Indiana. Indiana's lawmakers are sprinting ahead, pushing a bill to fund the stadium quick.

Meanwhile, Illinois is tackling its own hurdles, especially around property taxes, to keep the bears in state.

Warren dropped details on profile ball talk at the NFL Annual Meetings this week, saying both sites could deliver a top-tier fan experience.

No hard deadline, but Warren's betting on a call this spring or summer. Clock's ticking for the bears to lock in and break ground, so stay tuned as this play unfolds.
