The Chicago Bears’ ongoing stadium negotiations center on long-term site selection in Hammond, Indiana, where due diligence continues at locations like Lost Marsh and Wolf Lake, but no construction timeline or final NFL approval has advanced far enough for a departure from Illinois by year-end. The franchise’s lease at Soldier Field extends through 2033, allowing the team to complete the 2026 NFL season and beyond at its current home while Caleb Williams and the roster focus on regular-season matchups. Ongoing, if minimal, discussions with Illinois officials about Arlington Heights keep relocation options open, and any physical move requires extensive infrastructure work that cannot occur before December 31. Trader consensus at 82% “No” reflects these extended timelines and the absence of imminent triggers that would force an exit during the current campaign.
