Do you care if the Bears build a stadium in Indiana?

Yes

Only a little

Not really

So the stadium drama is the elephant in the room with the Bears.

The real question I have for Bears fans...How much do you care if the stadium is in Hammond? Plenty of NFL teams play across state lines from their namesake city.

Indiana lawmakers advanced a key stadium bill this week, putting real pressure on Illinois. Now the next steps could determine where the Chicago Bears build their new home.
