  "account": "On Thursday, the Chicago Bears held a press conference to reiterate their plan to build a new stadium in Indiana. On Saturday, during the broadcast of their preseason opener against the Browns, Bears chairman George McCaskey reiterated the message, stating, \"We’re moving forward in Hammond.\" The Bears have identified one viable site, the Lost Marsh Golf Course, and are considering another site, the Wolf Lake terminal, for further examination. McCaskey acknowledged the process is time-consuming and deliberate, urging patience from the public. While the Bears are focused on Indiana, efforts to find a solution in Illinois continue. On the same day, Bears president and CEO Kevin Warren met with reporters, and Commissioner Roger Goodell reportedly met with select Illinois lawmakers. Ultimately, the Bears will play at Soldier Field in Chicago until a decision is made.",
