Chicago Bears release Arlington Heights stadium details

Well, the Chicago Bears are hoping their new

stadium

concept is a touchdown for fans and we're getting our first look at their development plans in the northwest suburbs and what would be built around that new

stadium

bears

to make the move, while other residents say this would be a huge victory for the community and the economy.

I think it's important for the

bears

and for the village of Arlington Heights. Because of this, we get multiple events that I believe will put Arlington Heights on the map in a way that other communities have not. I think it will continue. I keep my fingers crossed. It would be great, but it would be a chance to maybe see him a little more because he's closer. and you can learn more directly from the bears this Thursday at a community informational meeting held at Hersey High School from 7 to 9 p.m. m. the public will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis reporting live in Arlington Heights casey cronus fox 32
