The Chicago Bears are looking to build a stadium in Northwest Indiana after a proposal to provide financial incentives for the NFL team to build its new home in Illinois stalled in the state legislature.

Odds now favor Indiana in the Bears stadium fight, another sign Illinois is losing ground as Arlington Heights stalls and Hammond gains momentum.

Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr. says the proposed Bears stadium site is 'pristine,' pushing back on doubts as Indiana gains on Illinois.

The Bears are formally moving ahead with a planned $5 billion domed stadium and mixed-use development in Hammond, Ind.

More than three years of twists and turns on the Bears stadium saga could finally be reaching a definitive end point.
