• Illinois lawmakers confirm meeting with NFL commissioner as saga over $4.7bn Bears stadium drags on (newsbreak.com) — Hammond is still a leading contender for a proposed $4 billion Chicago Bears stadium, even as Illinois officials scramble to keep the team in the state and recently met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
