The Indiana House gave an enthusiastic show of support Tuesday to use public funding for a new stadium in Hammond that would play host to the Chicago Bears.
The Indiana Senate is set to vote as soon as Thursday afternoon on legislation that would authorize the financing and construction of a stadium in Hammond.
Both the Bears and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker say negotiations are progressing. But continued opposition from Chicago legislators underscores the contrast with Indiana.
In a statement Thursday, the Chicago Bears said they “appreciate the ongoing engagement with Indiana state and local leaders” as they continue to vet a potential stadium site in Hammond.
