The Chicago Bears released a statement Thursday as lawmakers took a step closer to making a stadium in northwest Indiana closer to reality.⁠
⁠
The Indiana Senate already rapidly passed legislation setting the parameters for a deal with the Bears, including a bond issue, a lease with the team, and other agreements that a new board would make with the team, but questions remained over whether such legislation would make it through the House.⁠
⁠
Despite earlier comments that lawmakers would not push the bill forward without the team's commitment to build in Indiana, it appears things have shifted, with the Indiana House Ways and Means Committee passing an amended version of the bill unanimously Thursday, marking one of the biggest steps forward.⁠
⁠
In their statement, the Bears said if the bill passes it would "mark the most meaningful step forward in our stadium planning efforts to date."⁠
