Bears stadium deal sidelined in Illinois

With the Illinois legislative session set to conclude at midnight on May 31, budget negotiations have taken precedence over efforts to reach a stadium deal that would keep the Bears in Illinois. Talks on a plan to prevent the team from accepting an offer in Hammond, Indiana, have been temporarily sidelined.

Absent an eleventh-hour resolution, the Bears may face the decision of whether the Indiana offer is a negotiating tactic or if they'll seriously consider leaving Illinois. amunra.help
