Summary

The Chicago Bears did NOT come to an agreement with Illinois legislators Sunday night into Monday morning. What happens next for the Bears in their pursuit of a new stadium? The CHGO Bears Podcast recaps a busy day in Springfield that ended with a new proposal being made 90 minutes before midnight that the House opted to not vote on. Is Hammond once again the favorite, or could Arlington Heights still come to an agreement to become the new home of the Bears? Join Adam Hoge, Mark Carman and Greg Braggs Jr. on the CHGO Bears Podcast. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

0:00.0	Oh, it's essentially June 1st, 2026, and we still do not have clarity on where or how the Chicago Bears will build their next stadium.
0:25.6	Adam Hogue, Mark Carmen, Greg Braggs will be representing the great state of Indiana shortly.
0:31.4	We have been following this story very, very closely all weekend long.
0:36.5	I have a million thoughts. I think we both have

But I've got a bunch of stuff here, Hogue, but I want to, you know, I know that you, I want to let you lead off here and just kind of lay out what's all going on get people up to speed.
1:54.9	And then I'll give you what I think is going to happen going forward or or and, you know, kind of the reasons of why I think we're here at this point today.
