Hammond site might not provide as much space as Chicago Bears thought Jun 12, 2026

Show notes

The Chicago Bears' stadium search has another chapter. While the Hammond site has been discussed as a potential option for the franchise's future home, new questions are emerging about whether the location actually has enough space to accommodate everything the Bears want in a modern NFL stadium development.

In this episode, we break down the concerns surrounding the Hammond proposal, including land availability, parking requirements, surrounding infrastructure, and whether the site can support the massive mixed-use district the Bears have envisioned and how Kevin Warren and the Bears continue to say but not do what they say.

Dan also dives into Friday Feedback Friday and gives his top 10 list of Cubs and White Sox best major league debuts.
