Might the Chicago Bears cross state lines for their next stadium much like the Kansas City Chiefs announced plans to move out of Missouri.

Chicago

The Kansas City Chiefs have officially announced their relocation from Missouri to Kansas, where they will build a new dome stadium and entertainment district set to open in 2031. The project will be financed using Star Bonds, repaid through sales taxes generated in a new district surrounding the stadium.

This move has prompted the Chicago Bears to expand their search for a new home, with team president Kevin Warren confirming that locations in northwest Indiana, such as Gary, are under consideration. Local officials and consultants note that strong political will can make such relocations a reality, as seen with the Chiefs' move.

Could the Bears make a stadium move like the Chiefs?

Could the Chicago Bears follow the Kansas City Chiefs and leave their stadium to go across state lines? Well, Kansas state lawmakers made it official. The Chiefs are crossing state lines, building their new kingdom in Kansas. Brett Boganski shows you how this announcement may impact the Chicago Bears. Welcome to Kansas! After more than 50 years of calling Arrowhead Stadium home, Chiefs' kingdom will soon relocate to the state of Kansas. Team owner Clark Hunt, alongside Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, made it official Monday. The Chiefs are moving across state lines from Missouri into Kansas. Regardless of where you live or where you're watching from today, I hope this team has made you proud. And I hope you are as excited as we are about this next chapter in Chiefs' history. A new dome stadium located in Wyandotte County is set to open in 2031 with the team's new headquarters in Olathe. It's a multi-billion dollar project with a new entertainment district. Kansas will pay for it using Star Bonds. Think of it as a loan. They'll use sales taxes in a newly formed district from places like bars, restaurants and hotels to repay the bonds over time. How does the Chiefs' announcement impact the Chicago Bears? Well, just days ago, team president Kevin Warren announced that the Bears are expanding their search for a new home. And that includes crossing state lines into northwest Indiana. You could still be the Chicago Bears in Gary, Indiana. Because of the proximity, the closeness to all of the same amenities. But the infrastructure that Gary has already, you can't replicate it. Gary, Indiana Mayor Eddie Melton is excited for that possibility of the Bears crossing state lines and showed us some potential landing spots. I think Governor J.B. Pritzker should be watching this most closely. Mark Gannis has worked with professional sports franchises relocating for greener stadium pastures and said what happened in Missouri with the Chiefs could happen in Illinois with the Bears. Deals like this not only can happen, but will happen. That it's not just leverage, it's not just media, but that it's reality. When there is a strong political will, these things can happen a lot faster than anyone expects. Brett Boganski, Fox Chicago.
