The Bears' stadium search remains unresolved between Arlington Heights, Illinois, and Hammond, Indiana, with no final site selection or groundbreaking imminent as of mid-September 2026. Ongoing due diligence, legislative inaction in Illinois, and continued backchannel talks with state officials have kept relocation timelines extended well beyond December. Any approved project would require years of permitting, financing, and construction before the franchise could physically depart Illinois, making a departure by year-end highly unlikely. Trader consensus at 83.5% for "No" reflects this extended process and the absence of binding commitments that would trigger an immediate exit.
