The Chicago Bears have called the state of Illinois home since they began play in 1920, but they now have one foot out the door.
Their board of directors voted to advance stadium development at a to-be-determined site in Hammond, Indiana, chairman George McCaskey and president and CEO Kevin Warren announced in a joint statement.
“We believe a world-class stadium project in Hammond will transform the region, connecting Northwest Indiana to the South Side of Chicago through the Loop and across neighborhoods and suburbs stretching north of the city,” McCaskey and Warren said.
“It will bring Chicagoland together and deliver new opportunities to its residents and businesses.”
