The bears cover studies and work on the Hippodrome website

If the shovel enters the ground this year for a Bears stadium, as the president of the Kevin Warren team said, the original plan may have a new life.

According to a report of Christopher Placek du Arlington Heights Daily HeraldThe Bears have resumed work on the plans for a possible redevelopment of $ 5 billion in the property of Hippodrome International d’Arlington that they already have. They resume and develop studies on economic impact and traffic, trying to refine what was done earlier.

The report does not say that they build the stadium in Arlington Heights for some, but the simple fact that they resume the previous work carried out indicate the interest.

This is significant after a long flirt with sites in Chicago on the lake front or nearby.

Their tax dispute with three suburban school districts ended with a regulation, but the team had either the hope of a new stadium by the lake or used it as a negotiation currency in the tax dispute.

Now, it seems that the idea of ​​the stadium originally floated with a town meeting in Hersey High School 2 and a half years ago will get a new look.

The Herald also pointed out that the former mayor of Arlington Heights, Tom Hayes, confirmed that the village staff expected to receive these studies on the traffic and financing of the Bears.

The Bears said they would pay around $ 2 billion in the stadium project, but in Arlington Heights, the land would not be a problem. Nor would they receive the opposition of groups as friends of the parks.

The stadium on the lake on board failed to obtain economic support from Springfield because Governor JB Pritzker last year had called for funds for him a “non-starter”.
