"Pritzker on the PILOT/Bears bill: 'We have a lot of things on the schedule that need to get done before the end of May, including, importantly, a balanced budget that I put forward, so I'd like to get this done before we ever get to that point.'"
"The governor is essentially saying that there is a framework in place that will allow this to get going. In other words, the Bears aren't starting from nothing here."
"'I would like the legislature to move faster, just because I think that will be good for everybody to get this done.' This is the first time I've seen or heard something from the Illinois governor in which he expresses his desire to get a deal done in an accelerated manner."
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is open to accelerating the Chicago Bears stadium project, aiming for clarity by late spring or early summer. He emphasized the importance of completing legislative tasks, including a balanced budget, before the end of May. Pritzker indicated that a framework is already in place for the project, suggesting that the Bears are not starting from scratch. The NFL's stadium committee is expected to meet with the Bears after the 2026 NFL Draft, indicating ongoing developments in the project.
