It looks like the iconic Chicago Bears may very well become the Hammond Bears soon. As in, Hammond, Indiana. Sure it doesn’t quite roll off the tongue like the Chicago Bears, but then again that city and state have been so thoroughly ruined by Democrats that even the Chicago Bears want out! Wow. They just released this statement: Statement from Chairman George H. McCaskey and President & CEO Kevin Warren: pic.twitter.com/U4lHzSV8Zv — Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) June 5, 2026 Closer look here: FULL TEXT IF THIS IS EASIER FOR YOU TO READ: STATEMENT FROM CHICAGO BEARS CHAIRMAN GEORGE H. MCCASKEY AND PRESIDENT & CEO KEVIN WARREN Yesterday, the Chicago Bears Board of Directors met and voted to advance our stadium development project in Hammond, Indiana, with the exact site to be selected. We believe a world-class stadium project in Hammond will transform the region, connecting Northwest Indiana to the South Side of Chicago through the Loop and across neighborhoods and suburbs stretching north of the city. It will bring Chicagoland together and deliver new opportunities to its residents and businesses.

The Far-Left Mayor of Chicago and the Far-Left Governor of Illinois are doing all they can to run The Bears out of town, and so far it’s looking like they might just succeed. Why do Socialists always ruin everything they touch? With the promise of a new domed stadium, it looks like Indiana is making real progress in luring The Bears out of hibernation and out of Chicago: Trade Deal Indiana gets the Chicago Bears and a new space age stadium + $ Billions in new tourism Chicago gets Obama DEI garbage can pic.twitter.com/z2PjuOCLlg — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) February 19, 2026 Of course the move is partially about the carrot and partially about the stick. Because who would really want to live in the Hell Hole that Chicago has become? This is why DA BEARS are moving to Indiana lol pic.twitter.com/9ac7tjx9Zj — 11202011TINA™️ (@11202011t) February 19, 2026 The NFL.com added more details: The Chicago Bears’ potential move to Indiana took another step forward on Thursday when a key committee approved a plan to create an agency that would help get a stadium built. The Indiana House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee passed a bill establishing a Northwest Indiana Stadium Authority to finance, construct and lease a stadium by a 24-0 margin. The Bears are looking at a tract of land near Wolf Lake in Hammond, Ind. “The passage of SB 27 would mark the most meaningful step forward in our stadium planning efforts to date,” the team said in a statement. “We are committed to finishing the remaining site-specific necessary due diligence to support our vision to build a world-class stadium near the Wolf Lake area in Hammond, Indiana.” Republican Gov. Mike Braun and lawmakers in Indiana have been aggressive in trying to lure the founding NFL franchise across the state line amid a yearslong effort to build an enclosed stadium in Illinois. The Bears did not mention Illinois in their statement. The Illinois House Revenue and Finance Committee was scheduled to hold a hearing Thursday morning on a bill that would allow the Bears and any other developer of a large enough project to negotiate long-term property tax rates with local taxing bodies. But that got canceled. “Illinois was ready to move this bill forward,” Matt Hill, a spokesman for Gov. JB Pritzker, posted on X. “After a productive three-hour meeting yesterday, the Bears leaders requested the (Illinois General Assembly) pause the hearing to make further tweaks to the bill. This morning, we were surprised to see a statement lauding Indiana and ignoring Illinois.” Leave it to a Red State to pull off one of the biggest wins in sports history! Luring away the storied Bears franchise! Meanwhile, Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson feigned outrage: IT'S OFFICIAL: The Chicago Bears are FLEEING CHICAGO to Indiana, Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson is LIVID "Is my face straight? Alright. OK. Trying to keep a straight face here." He PUSHED THEM OUT, Chicago is a SHTHOLE. This is on you, Johnson!pic.twitter.com/sJcha9yq7B — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) February 19, 2026 The move would be just a 24 minute drive away, but sometimes a change in state lines means everything: For reference: https://t.co/jo0jMO6nZ0 pic.twitter.com/CfZWG4ZiXU — Guy Benson (@guypbenson) February 19, 2026 Here’s more from Rich Eisen: This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.
