Chicago Bears
It was fascinating to hear Bears president/CEO Kevin Warren and Mayor Brandon Johnson announce recently that they had plans for a new Bears stadium on the lakefront.
It was weird because, well, weren’t the Bears going to build their new stadium in Arlington Heights, where they had purchased the land on which the now-demolished Arlington International Racecourse stood?
‘‘We are the largest landowner in Arlington Heights right now,’’ Warren said.
So?
But taxes are too high there, the Bears said. Can’t build.
So other suburbs got interested.
