The Chicago Bears are preparing for the upcoming NFL draft, but the league's stadium committee is eager to discuss the team's future stadium plans afterward. A virtual meeting is scheduled for the week of April 27, where the Bears will provide updates on their bid for a new home, which is currently being considered for either Arlington Heights, Illinois, where they own land, or Hammond, Indiana. Bears Chairman George McCaskey, a member of the stadium committee, will participate in the discussions alongside other team owners. Bears President/CEO Kevin Warren expressed optimism at a recent league meeting that a decision on the stadium site could be made by late spring or early summer, aiming for a new domed stadium to be ready by the 2030 season. The Bears are also awaiting resolution on a megaprojects bill in Illinois that would provide necessary tax certainty for their Arlington Heights move. Any potential relocation must receive approval from the league, with a possible vote at the spring owners meeting scheduled for May 19-20 in Orlando, Florida.
