The Chicago Bears met with the Illinois governor's office on Wednesday to discuss the team's new stadium proposal.Last week, the Bears announced plans for a new domed stadium along the lakefront, just one day before the 2024 NFL Draft kicked off. The Bears projected the stadium will cost $3.225 billion. Over $2 billion in funding would come from the Bears and the NFL .
"It's not a high priority for the taxpayers and very importantly, it's gotta be a good deal for taxpayers, so there's a lot of questions about whether the deal could get done. I'm very hopeful that they could put something on the table, but you've got to remember that we have a lot of priorities for the state of Illinois. We've been making an awful lot of progress and making capital investments for the state and nobody had a new stadium on that list," said Gov.
