The Chicago Bears' proposal to fund a new lakefront stadium remains a “non-starter," Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker's office said after top aides met with team officials on Wednesday. The Bears unveiled a nearly $5 billion plan calling for public funding last week for an enclosed facility to be built next to their longtime home at Soldier Field. “As the Governor has said, the current proposal is a non-starter for the state," press secretary Alex Gough said in a statement.
