Indiana currently is moving closer to finalizing legislation that would help fund a venue near the Illinois border. Via Kayla Dwyer of the Indianapolis Star, the Indiana Senate has passed by a 45-4 vote a bill that tees up the issue for the desk of Governor Mike Braun.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reports that an Illinois legislative committee has advanced a bill that would help lay the foundation for the Bears to build a stadium on property the team owns in Arlington Heights.
The best outcome, in our view, continues to be a new stadium in Chicago. There's currently no indication that there's any chance of a lakefront stadium happening.
Either way, the process is moving toward decision-making time. Indiana is nearly ready to go. Illinois is moving in the same direction. The Bears have yet to make a deal with any entity.
