Indiana Governor Mike Braun says he is working hard bring the Chicago Bears’ new stadium to Indiana.<\/p>\n

The governor brought it up during his State of the State address<\/a> Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

As talks between the Bears and Illinois political leaders continue, Indiana’s governor used a very public stage to put his hat in the ring.<\/p>\n

“With our strong business environment, it’s not surprising that another organization has noticed that Indiana is open for business, the Chicago Bears,” Braun said.<\/p>\n

Braun’s comments during his formal State of the State address came as the Bears survey season ticket holders about a potential new stadium in Northwest Indiana and days after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell looked at proposed stadium locations in Indiana and Arlington Heights.<\/p>\n

“We’re going to make sure that we do the best that we can for the Bears, but most of all that we’re not wasting taxpayer money,” Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said.<\/p>\n

As a condition of public money, Pritzker wants the Bears to pay off hundreds of millions of dollars in remaining debt from Soldier Field’s 2003 renovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Indiana Governor Mike Braun says he is working hard bring the Chicago Bears’ new stadium to Indiana.
