Indiana Governor Mike Braun remains confident in his efforts to bring the Chicago Bears to the state, despite ongoing negotiations. The team is searching for a new home stadium, and Indiana has offered a space in Hammond, about 40 minutes south of Chicago.
Stadium Location
The proposed stadium location in Hammond has been met with skepticism from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who doubts the feasibility of the deal. However, Governor Braun has been in weekly contact with the Bears and believes the deal is progressing well.
The Bears are hoping to reach a final decision on their next home soon. Governor Braun stated, ‘They know they’re dealing with somebody that’s a handshake business partner, has come a long way. Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched but it looks good.’
