Chicago Bears Say Arlington Heights Stadium ‘No Longer Our Singular Focus'

In recent weeks, the potential move to Arlington Heights got a little more complicated after the Cook County Assessor hiked the assessed value of the team’s newly acquired land, meaning their property tax bill could be headed for a major increase.

A spokesperson for Naperville also confirmed Mayor Scott Wehrli "reached out to the Chicago Bears organization to introduce as a thriving community with multiple opportunities for business investment."

"With economic development as one of his primary focuses, the mayor will continue to highlight Naperville’s benefits to businesses throughout Chicagoland and across the country," spokesperson Linda LaCloche said in a statement, "These benefits include having the second largest economy in Illinois, along with a highly educated workforce, top ranked public safety, a vibrant downtown, excellent public transit and close proximity to major interstates, making it an attractive community for all types of business investment."

In a letter to Bears President and CEO Kevin Warren last week, Wehrli touted the community's accessibility and said there are several sites already available or soon-to-be available for the Bears' future home.

"As a lifelong Bears fan, I respect that the team has decided that developing and operating its own stadium is essential for on-field success and pursuing championships," the letter read. "On behalf of the City of Naperville, I would like to formally introduce our community to your organization as you consider or reassess your planned relocation. The city would welcome the opportunity to review your business needs and our available properties."

I hear there’s a good plot of land available near O’Hare for that second team.

I'm not a fan of Brandon Johnson at the moment. Finding a way to keep the Bears here could help change that.

Seems like a leverage play. They have no intention of Naperville. It will be AH or chicago

Get the QB right. Win a Super Bowl. Then win another.

The zip code of their stadium matters not.

This is so Bears :lol:

Naperville isn't going to happen but it makes for maybe some leverage and comedy relief. I'm sure they'll get Arlington Heights figured out eventually.

It’s an offshoot of their tax complaint and it’s incredibly stupid.

The argument boils down to: by having to pay several million extra in property taxes (that we’ll have to pay anyway), our multi-billion dollar project is no longer viable so we’re going to abandon it entirely.

It makes them look like, much like another group of children who inherited a company, Not Serious People. Whether the Bears paid for the stadium and the government paid for The Glen But Football or the other way around, they didn't really have the money, which the county's dick move with the property tax hike proved.

They can have all the land they want in LaSalle County.

The North Central Illinois Bears on the 39/80 corridor. And more bars than any place in the country except for 2 or 3 counties.

You could start a bar in your garage there if you want. They won't stop you. I've been to many of them.

The only other place I could possibly see is, an area by I88 in Warrenville where the theater is. They could demolish that, it might be a big enough area.

Cantera? Off Winfield?

My first job at Kemper Financial Real Estate Investments was tracking loan servicing on that property. It was a much more ambitious project in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s and them the real estate market went to hell and 80 people got fired but me and 11 others.

Thanks Japan.

I think that is Regal Cinemas now. Just saw GOTG3 there with the family. It’s nicer. Not amazing but nicer.

What are they going to do though? They already bought the property. I guess they could have it reassessed as a vacant lot. Good luck selling it now.

I'm sure that they would invoke eminent domain and clear out an area if it means the Bears would really move there.

I still think the McCaskey's plan to sell team and any property they own will end up being part of the sale, so it really doesn't matter if its Arlington Heights, Naperville or wherever.

The Bears have a wide open layup and they’re going to dribble the ball of their face while stepping on their dick.

By the end of this thing, they’ll somehow pay more to borrow soldier field a few times a year from a municipal park district.

The assessor's office had the audacity to give the property a fair market value of $197m. You know the price the Bears paid for the property not even 4 months ago....

Embarrassing bluff

No chance of competence from the Bears until the team is sold. They will find a way to fuck things up every step of the way.
