Bears Stadium Deal Nearing to Keep Team in Illinois

      The Chicago Bears and Illinois officials are nearing an agreement to keep the team in Illinois with public funding for infrastructure at Arlington Heights.
      The proposed “PILOT” legislation would let the Bears pay for construction and negotiate property taxes with the village, aiming for a long-term lower tax bill.
      Governor Pritzker says talks are ongoing but progressing.
      Meanwhile, Indiana is still trying to attract the Bears, as a bill for a Northwest Indiana stadium passed the Senate in January.
