With time running out for the Bears and Illinois to reach an agreement before the team goes to Indiana, teachers in Illinois have crafted a roadblock for Illinois lawmakers to pass team-friendly legislation that would aid the Bears in building a new stadium in Arlington Heights.
Per Paris Schutz of Fox 32 Chicago, the Illinois Federation of Teachers is lobbying to include language on a Bears megaprojects bill that would protect funding for state school districts if the legislation passes.
“NEW: multiple legislative sources confirm that there’s another hurdle for the Bears Megaprojects bill: The Illinois Federation of Teachers, led by Stacy Davis Gates,” Schutz posted on X.
“Sources tell me they are lobbying to include language that would protect funding for school districts if the bill goes through. It comes as Mayor Johnson issued new comments on the bill today calling it ‘counterintuitive.’”
Last week, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker put pressure on lawmakers to pass the property tax breaks and infrastructure funding the Bears need to agree to build in Arlington Heights.

Around the same time, Bears chairman George McCaskey and CEO/president Kevin Warren traveled to meet with Hammond officials at Lost Marsh Golf Club near Wolf Lake in Indiana as the team considers building in the Northwest part of the state.
The Illinois Federation of Teachers is not making it any easier for lawmakers to pass the legislation before the Bears meet with members of the NFL on April 27. It’s another problem the Bears and Illinois will have to overcome to keep the team in the state.
Simply put, Indiana has their ducks in a row for the Bears to move. Illinois is far behind.
