Brian Urlacher talks on radio row Thursday.

PHOENIX — Count former Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, among those who don’t want the Bears to build an indoor stadium in Arlington Heights.

“The dome thing, you’re not going to sell me on a dome ever for the Bears,” Urlacher said Thursday at Super Bowl radio row. “We’re an outside team. Our fans like it. The teams that come play us don’t like it.”

The Bears are in escrow on the 326-acre former Arlington Racetrack site, for which they’ve agreed to pay $197.
