(The Center Square) – Illinois lawmakers return to Springfield this week to resume the spring session, and the Chicago Bears could be on the agenda.

The Bears unveiled a nearly $5 billion proposal for an enclosed stadium and the NFL team is asking for taxpayer funding to help make it happen. The plan calls for $3.2 billion for a new stadium plus an additional $1.5 in infrastructure.
