# Chicago Bears may merge two sites for Indiana stadium 2026-08-13T23:07:28+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Chicago Bears have found at least one viable site for a new stadium in northwest Indiana and are examining a second location, possibly merging the two, team president Kevin Warren said on Thursday. The team announced in June that it was pursuing a development project in Hammond, Indiana, and has completed a review of the Lost Marsh site while doing due diligence on the Wolf Lake Terminal site. The Bears had also considered Arlington Heights, Illinois, for an enclosed stadium, but state legislative efforts to provide financial incentives stalled. The team's lease at Chicago's Soldier Field runs through 2033, but it can be broken early with a fee. Chairman George McCaskey said the team's name will remain the Chicago Bears regardless of location. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Arlington Heights, Chicago Bears, Hammond, Illinois politics, Indiana stadium, NFL Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/chicago-bears-may-merge-two-sites-for-indiana-stadium/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
