Read the Bears’ Full Statement on Exploring New Stadium Sites Besides Arlington Park – NBC5 (Chicago)

The statement reads, in part, "The stadium-based project remains broadly popular in Arlington Heights, Chicagoland and the state. However, the property’s original assessment at five times the 2021 tax value, and the recent settlement with Churchill Downs for 2022 being three times higher, fails to reflect the property is not operational and not commercially viable in its current state."

He did the Bears a favor. He could have waited until it was too late for them to change course.

Thank to crooked Kaegi and the greedy failing school districts, the Bears will invest in DuPage County instead.

I bet it would be popular in Sarasota too.

Puff, puff, puff. Never was going to happen because of simple economics that any developer understands, an unpopular team and aloof owners, and local public officials who have stars in their eyes.
