George McCaskey: Team will be "Chicago Bears" if new stadium is built in Indiana
The Bears say their "sole focus" when it comes to a new stadium is on Hammond, Indiana.
Bears chairman George McCaskey has reaffirmed that if a new stadium is built in Hammond, Indiana, the team will remain the Chicago Bears. This statement comes as the team continues to explore the possibility of relocating to Indiana for a new stadium. Despite the ongoing speculation and potential for a move, McCaskey emphasized that the team's identity would not change, highlighting the iconic nature of the Chicago Bears name.
The decision remains contingent on the team actually moving to Indiana, as currently, it appears to be more of a bluff. However, if Illinois continues to pursue a different course, the Bears may ultimately have no choice but to relocate.
