The Chicago Bears' ongoing stadium search centers on Hammond, Indiana sites, yet the franchise's headquarters at Halas Hall remain firmly in Illinois with no operational relocation imminent by December 31. Recent executive comments emphasize sole focus on due diligence for the Indiana project following the June board vote, but minimal discussions continue with Illinois officials and no final site or financing commitments exist. Any new enclosed stadium faces multi-year construction timelines targeting 2029 or later, preserving the team's Illinois base and league status in the near term. Trader consensus at 70% for "No" reflects these extended timelines and the limited scope of cross-border stadium plans versus full franchise departure.
