If Kevin Warren thought dealing with politicians and tax assessors might be easier than dealing with chancellors, deans, trustees and athletic directors in the Big 10, then perhaps this week has shifted his mindset.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports today that the Bears have entered into talks with Naperville, that west Chicago burb where all the Chicagoans move to when they leave the city, about sites for a potential new stadium.
This comes amid a breakdown of talks with Arlington Heights and surrounding suburbs around property taxes for school districts.
Naperville Mayor Scott Wehrli on May 24 sent the Bears a letter, asking the team to meet and discuss available properties in the west suburb, according to a letter provided to the Sun-Times by the city of Naperville.
