Indiana, Illinois Race for Bears Stadium

Indiana's Senate has passed a bill by a 45-4 vote that would help fund a venue near the Illinois border, while an Illinois legislative committee has advanced a bill to support the Bears building a stadium in Arlington Heights on team-owned property.

The process appears to be moving toward decision time, with both states nearly ready to finalize their proposals. However, the Bears have yet to make a deal with any entity, and there's no indication of a lakefront stadium in Chicago happening.
