The Chicago Bears revealed their initial plans and renderings for the team's potential new stadium in Arlington Heights.The Chicago Bears have released their plans and renderings for what could be the franchise's new home in Arlington Heights. The renderings come in a letter to local residents ahead of Thursday night's meeting at John Hersey High School in Arlington Heights.
In the open letter, the Bears say the project would create 48,000 jobs and a $9.4 billion economic impact to the region, with the potential to attract year-round events including the Super Bowl, college football playoffs and Final Four.The Bears are not asking for public money for the stadium itself. But, the team said it's seeking "additional funding and assistance" for that mixed-use district, which the Bears said offers "long-term public benefits.
"Over and over again, we've seen stadium deals and corporate welfare projects turn sour for taxpayers across Illinois," said Brian Costin of Americans for Prosperity Illinois. We don't have any problems with the Bears coming... We just think that they are... they should pay for it. They have enough money to pay for it themselves."
The Arlington Heights Village Manager declined to comment on the Bears proposal, saying the village has not been presented anything formal to review. He said the village is preparing to announce several public meetings to gather community input. Make no mistake, this is much more than a stadium project. Any development of Arlington Park will propose to include a multi-purpose entertainment, commercial/retail, and housing district that will provide considerable economic benefits to Cook County, the surrounding region and State of Illinois.
