Bears to unveil plans for Arlington Heights stadium
The Bears have played at Soldier Field since 1971.The Bears will unveil conceptual plans for their potential new home in Arlington Heights on Sept. 8.
The meeting, which will be held at John Hersey High School in Arlington Heights, will detail what a Bears statement called “one of the largest development projects in Illinois state history.” The stadium site will feature a “transit-oriented mixed-use entertainment district.”
The Bears are in escrow for the former Arlington Racetrack site. President/CEO Ted Phillips said in January he anticipated closing on the land to take until the end of this year and possibly even drag into early 2023.
