Goodell Pushes Bears for Stadium Decision

It's April 1st.

I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today Football News, powered by AI.

NFL Commissioner Roderick Adele is pushing the Chicago Bears to lock in a stadium-side

fast, whether it's Wolflake and Hammond Indiana or Arlington, Heights in Illinois.

He didn't pick a favorite, but made it clear they needed decisions soon to move forward.

He's also calling out Illinois officials, working on a big project's bill to keep the

team nearby.

Adele stressed to them that now's the time to wrap it up, sooner rather than later.

Bears' President Kevin Warren backed that up, saying they'll finish checking options

in both states by spring or summer.

No hard deadline, but they're on the clock for sure.

Indiana's going all in, with Governor Mike Braun and lawmakers passing a bill for a

stadium authority to fund bonds.

Illinois fans, though, are rooting hard to keep this founding franchise at home.

Adele even toured Indiana sites earlier this year, and praised the Bears for shopping

responsibly.

Soldier Fields got history, but it lags on tech and fan upgrades, so a new spots key

to their future success.

We'll see where they land.
