Chicago Bears say new stadium in Arlington Heights would be enclosed, and release illustrations, but say they’d expect some public funding
The Chicago Bears released proposed development plans for the Arlington International Racecourse property in Arlington Heights on Sept. 6, 2022. A rendering shows the Chicago Bears' preliminary plans for the Arlington Park property, including a so-called"Stadium District" on the northwest side of the property abutting Route 53 and Northwest Highway, along with mixed-use development in the rest of the footprint, including where the shuttered racetrack now stands.
The 326-acre development would also include restaurants, office spaces, a hotel, fitness center, new parks and open spaces. The team has played at Soldier Field in Chicago for half a century, and pays about $6.5 million a year in rent. Its lease runs through 2033, butas of 2026. In July, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot proposed options to build a dome over Soldier Field for $2.2 billion, without specifying how it would be paid.
“While under contract with the seller of Arlington Park, we will not be discussing or exploring any other alternative stadium sites or other opportunities, including renovations of Soldier Field,” the team stated.
