PALM BEACH, Fla. — In a marked shift in public tone, Bears president/CEO Kevin Warren said Wednesday the team is considering both Arlington Heights and the lakefront as potential stadium sites. Even though the Bears have owned 326 acres in Arlington Heights for more than two years, they had maintained publicly their focus remained on building a stadium on the Museum Campus.
Wednesday was different.
“The focus now is both downtown and Arlington Heights,” Warren said at The Breakers, the site of the league’s annual meetings this week.
Warren said that the “next three-to-six months” will be critically important for the Bears’ stadium project.
