Play-by-play of failed Bears stadium bill
The Bears stadium bill failed to pass due to lack of alignment between Chicago mayor and Illinois governor, inter-municipal competition over stadium locations, and senatorial reluctance. Sen. Bill Cunningham proposed an alternative plan, including a Municipal Stadium Authority concept, but it could not secure support before the legislative session ended.
