Pressed Thursday night about whether there was a drop-dead date for his stadium deal downtown, Bears president/CEO Kevin Warren smiled.
“When we cut that ribbon,” he said.
Warren has said in recent months that his goal was for the team to start construction on a proposed site south of Soldier Field in 2025, with the stadium set to open in 2028. He wasn’t as specific Thursday night, when he spoke to the Economic Club of Chicago at the Sheraton Grand Hotel.
Warren said the Bears continue to monitor the property tax rate in Arlington Heights, where they own the 326-acre former Arlington International Racetrack site.
