WARE, England — The Bears have been talking excitedly about a new stadium ever since buying 326 acres in Arlington Heights, but have get to get “cranes in the sky,” as president Kevin Warren likes to say.
He came in after the Arlington Heights purchase, and the Bears have since shifted their target to just south of Soldier Field on the Chicago lakefront. While it seems like the process has dragged, and certainly could drag more as the Bears have yet to secure the public funding they want, Warren said Wednesday this is “exactly where I thought we would be at this point” and remains steadfast.
