Bears' Warren Says in Letter to Fans on Day of 1st Game Team Committed to Arlington Heights Stadium
The Bears plan a privately financed stadium on a 326-acre site, projecting over 56,000 construction and 9,000 permanent jobs, aiming to modernize facilities and boost local economy.
- On the day of their 2025 season opener, the Chicago Bears expressed their commitment to developing a new stadium in the suburb of Arlington Heights through a letter addressed to their fans.
- The team moved from seeking a Chicago lakefront stadium after state leaders rejected subsidy requests, leading the Bears to propose a self-financed stadium in the suburbs.
- The Bears purchased the 326-acre former Arlington Park site in 2023 and are working with Arlington Heights officials on tax negotiations and infrastructure approvals.
- Officials project the development will generate tens of thousands of construction positions, nearly 9,000 ongoing jobs, and bring in millions in yearly revenue, all while not requiring any state funding for the stadium’s construction.
- The Bears aim to finalize plans this year, break ground by spring, and host a Super Bowl as soon as 2031, while continuing to honor their commitment to Chicago fans.
