Are the Bears any closer to landing the needed approval of the state legislature to fund part of the building of a new stadium and the infrastructure to go along with it?

Chicago’s mayor Brandon Johnson was at the State House last week to discuss many issues with lawmakers including a new football stadium. Johnson says the current Solider Field is too old and in too much debt to be viable.

The Bears have offered to chip in more than $2 billion to help build a new domed stadium they say will cost $4.75 billion. But including costs outside of just building the stadium – some experts suggest the total cost to tax payers will be close to $6 billion.
