The Illinois state legislature adjourned without passing a bill to fund the Chicago Bears' new stadium, effectively blocking the team from receiving public funding. This means that the team will likely need to rely on private funding and other non-taxpayer sources for the project. While the Bears initially sought significant taxpayer contributions, the legislative session ended without a deal, leaving the stadium's financing plan in a precarious position.
