Chicago Bears fans were bracing for the worst on the new stadium updates about a month ago, but now it appears proper steps are being taken to ensure they stay in Illinois.
Bears team president and CEO Kevin Warren gave fans an update in December that they were looking into moving to Indiana if they couldn't get something done with the Arlington Heights location they acquired three years ago to build the new stadium at. Since then, state representatives have been working with the franchise to make sure they don't lose the team.
The Daily Herald's Chris Placek reported that there are positive signs, as House Bill 2789 is scheduled for a hearing on February 12.
