Indiana Advances Stadium Bill – February 2026

Indiana House Ways and Means Committee unanimously passed SB 27 (24-0), creating the Northwest Indiana Stadium Authority to potentially build a domed stadium near Wolf Lake in Hammond.

The Chicago Bears called it the “most meaningful step forward” in their stadium plans — notably omitting any mention of Illinois in their statement.

What is at Stake

  • Illinois $2B Project: Arlington Heights (326 acres bought for $197.2M in 2023) — Bears seek $850M for infrastructure
  • Indiana Offer: New stadium near Wolf Lake, 19-25 minutes from Soldier Field, lower 7% sales tax vs Illinois 10.5%
  • Deadline: Soldier Field lease runs through 2033, but Kevin Warren promised groundbreaking in 2025

What You Can Do

  1. Sign the petition — Show Illinois leaders we want to keep the Bears home
  2. Contact your representatives — Let them know Bears fans support a fair deal
  3. Spread the word — Share with fellow fans

No final decision has been made. This is the time to make our voices heard. Illinois can still win this fight — but only if we stand together.
