Summary
The Chicago Bears are still eyeing Hammond, Indiana, for their new stadium, with soil tests underway at the Wolf Lake Terminal site—close to their original target. While the team’s board approved moving forward, the exact location is still being evaluated, as the area currently hosts storage and businesses. This cross-state shift began due to Illinois property tax challenges, while Indiana has formed a special authority to fund and manage the project. Multiple options within the Wolf Lake region are being weighed to ensure the best long-term fit for Chicagoland. The Bears are taking their time to get this right.
