Chicago Bears assess land at Wolf Lake Terminals for possible new stadium site
The Chicago Bears this weekend said they are assessing land at Wolf Lake Terminals in Hammond, Indiana, for a possible new stadium.
The Northwest Indiana Times reported that soil drilling equipment was spotted near the site, located west of the Indiana Toll Road (Interstate 90) in Hammond.
Logistics and storage facilities are currently located on the site, the paper reported.
“This activity is part of the normal site evaluation process as we continue to advance our stadium development project in Hammond,” the Bears said in a statement issued to CBS News Chicago. “We have an excellent option already in place and continue to assess additional parcels of land in the Wolf Lake region to ensure we place the stadium and mixed-use district in the very best location to serve all of Chicagoland.”
Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr. is staying tight-lipped on the search, but said he is confident the Bears are heading to Indiana.
Earlier this month, the team announced the plan to build a new stadium complex in Hammond.
A bill passed by Indiana lawmakers calls for $1 billion in taxpayer money to be put toward infrastructure around the stadium, which officials said would support plans for retail, restaurants and residential units to be built around the stadium complex.
The Bears say they are also continuing negotiations with Illinois lawmakers.
INDIANAPOLIS — Kelsey Mitchell scored 26 points and the Indiana Fever thumped the Sparks 111-87 with two of the league’s top scorers sidelined on Saturday night.
Caitlin Clark, averaging 21.2 points and 8.2 assists for Indiana (11-8), missed the game with a back injury but shouldn’t be sidelined for long, according to coach Stephanie White.
Kelsey Plum, second in the league with a 23.9 points per game scoring average, is expected to miss at least four weeks for the Sparks (8-10) with an injury to her left leg.
Nneka Ogwumike had 17 points and seven rebounds and Dearica Hamby scored 15 for the Sparks, who became the first team in league history to surrender 110-plus points in back-to-back games.
Mitchell made nine of 13 shots — four of six from three-point range — and all four of her free throws. She hit two three-pointers and added a three-point play in the third quarter, scoring 13 to help Indiana up its lead to 33 before cruising to the finish.
Aliyah Boston scored 15 of her 17 points and grabbed all seven of her rebounds in the first half to help Indiana build a 57-37 advantage. Tyasha Harris — starting in place of Clark — scored 16, while Monique Billings added 15 points. The Fever shot 55.2% overall while making 10 of 19 from distance and 27 of 33 at the foul line.

Caitlin Clark injury update: Fever star out for Saturday’s game vs LA
Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White provided a Caitlin Clark injury update after the star guard left Wednesday’s game early with a back issue.
The Indiana Fever will be without Caitlin Clark when they face the Los Angeles Sparks on Saturday, June 27 (8 p.m. ET, CBS).
Clark exited the Fever’s 111-109 loss to the Mercury on Wednesday with 5:15 remaining in the third quarter because of an ongoing back issue. She will not play Saturday because of the injury.
“She’s OK. She’s gonna be out on Saturday, but she’s doing all right,” White said Friday.
“No indication (of how long she’ll be out). Obviously, it’s a good time because we have all week next week. So, we’ll take this opportunity just to get her treatment, get her healthy, get her back on the floor and see what happens.”
After Saturday’s matchup against the Sparks, Indiana does not play again until Sunday, July 5, giving Clark more than a week of rest.
