KENOSHA, Wis. — It has been more than three years since the Bears began taking concrete steps toward building a new stadium, first by buying a 326-acre lot in Arlington Heights before shifting to a lakefront dome just south of Soldier Field. The more it drags on, the more questions pop up.
It was unsurprising, then, when team president Kevin Warren got asked about it multiple times Friday during an appearance at Carthage College’s Spotlight on Sports. When dean Jim Padilla asked if he’d explored any of the vacant property “north of the border,” it was only slightly far-fetched given how many cities have tried to get in the mix since the team fell out of love with Arlington Heights over a dispute on property taxes.
