The Bears were where we thought they were.
Now, they’re looking around again.
In an open letter, team president and CEO Kevin Warren explained that the decision to focus on Arlington Heights as the location for a new stadium has changed. With the politicians not sufficiently reciprocating, the Bears are considering other potential sites for their next home.
"[W]e need to expand our search and critically evaluate opportunities throughout the wider Chicagoland region, including Northwest Indiana.” Warren wrote. “This is not about leverage. We spent years trying to build a new home in Cook County. We invested significant time and resources evaluating multiple sites and rationally decided on Arlington Heights. Our fans deserve a world-class stadium. Our players and coaches deserve a venue that matches the championship standard they strive for every day. With that in mind, our organization must keep every credible pathway open to deliver that future.”
So what happened in Arlington Heights, where the Bears previously purchased the land for a domed stadium?
