💨 Abstract

The Chicago Bears have refocused their plans to build a new enclosed stadium, shifting from the city's lakefront to the suburbs, specifically a 326-acre property they own in Arlington Heights. The team cites significant progress with local leaders and aims for a transformative economic development project. Despite initially considering the Chicago lakefront, Mayor Brandon Johnson's full endorsement and Governor JB Pritzker's tepid reception steered the team back to Arlington Heights.
