CHICAGO (WLS) — The Chicago Bears had recent meetings with Chicago’s Corporation Counsel regarding the terms for a new lakefront stadium, a spokesperson for Mayor Brandon Johnson’s Office said.<\/p>\n

Mayor Johnson has been pushing for the Bears to consider staying in Chicago, clashing with Governor JB Pritzke<\/a>r, who favors helping the Bears move to Arlington Heights rather than losing them to Hammond, Indiana.<\/p>\n

This comes as Illinois’ megaprojects bill, which could pave the way for an Arlington Heights stadium, is still in limbo.<\/p>\n
