Indiana Lawmakers Court Chicago Bears with Newly Proposed Bill
Governor Braun highlights Indiana's business climate and ongoing NFL site visits as the Bears survey season ticket holders on a potential stadium move.
- On Wednesday, Indiana Gov. Mike Braun raised the idea during his State of the State address at the Indiana Capitol and said his administration is working to bring the Chicago Bears to Indiana.
- Bears season-ticket surveys show the team sent a survey about a potential move to Northwest Indiana, while NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell toured Arlington Heights and two Northwest Indiana sites last weekend.
- Using the State's economic pitch, Braun said, `With our strong business environment, it's not surprising that another organization has noticed that Indiana is open for business, the Chicago Bears.`
- As talks with Illinois leaders continue, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker warned about taxpayer costs and said `Some of the infrastructure needs that the Bears are identifying as their needs are actually needs of the area around Arlington Heights`.
- The National Football League may loan $200 million or more for the stadium, while Northwest Indiana's industrial growth, including U.S. Steel, Whiting Refinery, and Amazon's $15 billion data center, strengthens the economic case.
