The Chicago Bears' stadium search has centered on Hammond, Indiana sites since their board voted in June 2026 to advance that project after Illinois legislators adjourned without passing property-tax certainty measures for Arlington Heights. As of mid-August, team executives described Indiana as the "sole focus" with due diligence completed on one Hammond location and ongoing at Wolf Lake, though no site is finalized and no construction timeline exists. The franchise remains headquartered in Lake Forest and continues playing home games at Soldier Field, with any relocation requiring years of permitting, financing, and build-out that cannot occur by December 31. Ongoing though limited talks with Illinois officials further reduce the chance of an immediate departure, aligning with trader consensus reflected in the 69% "No" probability.
