We’ll see if this move ever happens……



Bears Take Step Forward In Move To Indiana — A State Where Chicago Famously Is Not (https://blockclubchicago.org/2026/06/05/chicago-bears-leaving-soldier-field-for-indiana/)

>>> The Chicago Bears took a big step toward leaving Soldier Field for Hammond, Indiana, the team announced Friday.

The team’s Board of Directors has voted to “advance our stadium development project in Hammond, Indiana, with the exact site to be selected,” the team wrote on social media.

“We believe a world-class stadium project in Hammond will transform the region,” the statement said. <<<

They supposedly would keep the Chicago Bears name. Hammond Bears? No. Arlington Heights Bears? No to that, too.

Both Los Angeles NFL teams play in Inglewood; the San Francisco 49ers play in Santa Clara; the Las Vegas Raiders play in Paradise, Nevada; the Washington Commanders play in Landover, Maryland.

In a few years though the Commanders wont be playing here in Maryland.

The Bears should move to Decatur, IL and be re-named the Staleys.
Wait...

I don't know about moving to Indiana, but they're definitely getting a Hallmark Christmas movie.


>>>The Chicago Bears are the latest NFL franchise to get the Hallmark Christmas movie treatment.

The team announced Thursday that it is partnering with Hallmark Media, the NFL, and Skydance Sports for Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story, which will premiere during Hallmark Channel’s 17th annual Countdown to Christmas programming event this holiday season.<<<
