The Chicago Bears’ board of directors have voted to “advance” the team’s new stadium project in Hammond, Indiana, the team announced Friday.
The exact site has not yet been determined, according to the announcement, but the Bears said the vote was made Thursday.
“We believe a world-class stadium project in Hammond will transform the region, connecting Northwest Indiana to the South Side of Chicago through the Loop and across neighborhoods and suburbs stretching north of the city. It will bring Chicagoland together and deliver new opportunities to its residents and businesses,” a joint statement from Bears Chairman George McCaskey and President and CEO Kevin Warren read.
The vote comes just days after Illinois lawmakers failed to approve legislation aimed at keeping the team in Illinois.
The battle between Hammond and the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights has been ongoing for months, but the team had said after Illinois’ spring legislative session ended that they would finalize their evaluations of both sites “and remain on the late spring/early summer timeline” for a decision.
