Residents of Lockport,

The secret is out! The Lockport Zoning Commission is thrilled to announce that we are officially preparing a bid to bring the Chicago Bears' new stadium to our great city.

We believe Lockport offers something no other location can compete with: a blend of authentic Illinois history and limitless future potential.

Imagine a state-of-the-art stadium rising near the banks of the historic I&M Canal, with landmarks like the Norton Building serving as the backdrop for NFL Sundays. We aren't just offering a plot of land; we are offering a unique, vibrant destination that honors the past while building a massive economic engine for our future.

This is a bold step, but we believe our community is ready for the big leagues. We are working hard on a proposal that makes sense for the team and, most importantly, makes sense for the residents of Lockport.

Stay tuned for more updates as this process moves forward. Let’s show them why Lockport is the perfect home for the Bears!

And as always, Go Porters!
