Bears stadium bills move forward in Illinois and Indiana Thursday

Lawmakers in Illinois and Indiana are set to vote on stadium bills Thursday, with Illinois focusing on Arlington Heights and Indiana targeting Hammond.

Illinois lawmakers will hold a committee hearing on a revised stadium bill aimed at bringing the Bears to Arlington Heights, while Indiana's Senate is expected to pass a bill for a site in Hammond.

The Illinois bill includes tax breaks for infrastructure, a proposal Gov. JB Pritzker has signaled he will oppose if it "fleeces" taxpayers. Chicago remains a contender for the franchise.
