"The Bears are closing in on a critical decision that will eventually move the team from Soldier Field, their home for the past 50 years. Commissioner Roger Goodell urged the Bears to come to a resolution 'relatively soon.'"
"Three years after closing on land in Arlington Heights, there's no stadium. The Bears made no assurance that buying the land would lead to the construction of their domed stadium."
"Finalizing the purchase does not guarantee the land will be developed, but it is an important next step in our ongoing evaluation of the opportunity."
The NFL's stadium committee will meet with Chicago Bears officials to discuss the team's proposed stadium sites in Arlington Heights, Illinois, and Hammond, Indiana. This meeting is focused solely on the Bears' stadium plans. The Bears are expected to make a decision by late spring or early summer. Despite purchasing land in Arlington Heights three years ago, no stadium has been constructed yet. The Bears have committed to contributing $2 billion towards the project, but the development remains uncertain.
