ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. — Chicago Bears President Kevin Warren said at a forum Monday night the team wants to build a world-class NFL stadium but would not proceed with a multibillion dollar project in Arlington Heights without an agreement on the tax bill for the land recently purchased.
“We’ve had a stalemate and a lack of communication and it’s a little more convoluted at this point in time than I thought it would be,” he said, speaking during an Arlington Heights residents and stakeholders forum at Metropolis Performing Arts Center in the village’s downtown.
The forum, attended by about 300 people, was hosted by the newly formed Touchdown Arlington, a group of local business leaders that formed to drum up local support for the Bears’ anticipated move from Soldier Field in Chicago to Arlington Heights.
