The NFL\u2019s owners will meet in Orlando on Tuesday. On the agenda is the question of where an inevitable new stadium will be built.<\/p>\n

Via Courtney Cronin of ESPN, the membership will receive a \u201cspecial briefing<\/a>\u201d on the Bears\u2019 stadium situation.<\/p>\n

Per Cronin, \u201cClub and league staff will update the 32 clubs on progress on the only two viable stadium solutions at Arlington Heights and Hammond, Indiana.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those continue to be the only two realistic options. Despite periodic efforts by Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to keep the Bears in town, it\u2019s become (and continues to be) a foregone conclusion that it\u2019s Arlington Heights or Indiana.<\/p>\n

Indiana is ready to go. Arlington Heights, and Illinois, are still working on it. Bears president and CEO Kevin Warren has said that they expect to know<\/a> where the stadium will be built by early summer.<\/p>\n

It still feels like Indiana is the leverage to get the best deal in Illinois. Still, if Illinois won\u2019t do enough, there\u2019s an alternative that would make the Bears no different than the Giants and Jets \u2014 named for a place in one state, playing in another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL\u2019s owners will meet in Orlando on Tuesday.
