The Chicago Bears' prolonged stadium search continues to center on two primary options—Arlington Heights in suburban Illinois and Hammond in northwest Indiana—with no final site selection or construction timeline locked in as of September 2026. Legislative efforts in Illinois to secure tax incentives and financing stalled earlier in the year, prompting increased focus on the Indiana site, yet ongoing talks with state officials, including recent NFL Commissioner involvement, keep an in-state solution viable. Stadium development and any associated relocation of operations or home games would require years of planning and building, far exceeding the December 31 deadline regardless of which location is ultimately chosen. Trader consensus at 81.5% for "No" aligns with these extended timelines and the absence of any imminent out-of-state shift.
