PHOENIX — The Bears remain focused on building a stadium in Arlington Heights regardless of whether Brandon Johnson or Paul Vallas is elected mayor of Chicago in next month’s runoff, incoming president/CEO Kevin Warren said Monday at the NFL’s annual meetings.
“I live downtown in Chicago, so I look forward to meeting the new mayor,” he said, “but [we’re] continuing to focus on Arlington Park.”
When the Bears closed escrow on the 326-acre former home of Arlington International Racecourse on Feb. 15, they said in a letter to fans that the sale was no guarantee the land would be developed.
