Chicago Bears executives on Thursday said they were “disappointed” that Cook County officials sacked their effort for a bigger property tax break on the team’s land in Arlington Heights, throwing the latest block in the way of their drive for a new stadium in the northwest suburb.
The Cook County Board of Review’s $124.7 million valuation of the former Arlington International Racecourse site — and the Bears’ resulting property tax bill of $10 million to $11 million — leaves team brass looking elsewhere as they work toward breaking ground on a long-coveted dome, the team said in a statement.
