Arlington Heights, about 25 miles west of Soldier Field, at the old Arlington Downs racetrack. They've already hired an architect and I think they're moving forward with the purchase of the property.
It is one of the smallest stadium in the league but is actually a great place to watch a game. They have had a bad deal with the city for many years. They only pay 200K a year for a lease but the city gets all.of the parking and most of the concession money. The Bears have been buying up property in Arlington Heights for a decade, this has been planned for a long time. The racetrack where they will build will be perfect. Huge peice of property with enough parking and access to South West and North burbs where most of the season ticket holders live. It will be great for the franchise and its much closer to Lake Forest where the team HQ is.
It's true they are moving, but it isn't due to crime, it's due to the puny little stadium on the lakefront. They going to build a big un.
Yes, but if they leave the state? That'll hurt LL a lot.
