Bears Announcement Imminent?
The Bears on Friday alienated their biggest cheerleader in Springfield — and left their Chicago partner almost resigned to their departure — by signaling that the team may be giving up on Chicago in favor of building a domed stadium in Arlington Heights.
A statement released by the Bears on Friday simply confirmed the obvious: that the team has made “significant progress” with the new political leadership in Arlington Heights and it looks forward to continuing to “work with state and local leaders on making a transformative economic development project for the region a reality.”
But the Bears’ failure to even mention the possibility of remaining in Chicago — coupled with what they told Mayor Brandon Johnson — moved the ball closer to the site of the old Arlington International Racecourse that the team spent $197.2 million to purchase.
“The Mayor spoke with executive leadership from the Chicago Bears, who indicated they intend to prioritize the development site located in the Village of Arlington Heights,” the mayor’s office said in a statement.
But Johnson’s statement was quick to note that, “The door remains open in the city of Chicago.”
We got a picture of the door Conehead is talking about:
And speaking of doors, is anyone familiar with when the NFL usually announces the location of future Superbowl events? It's actually around the third week of May, which is just about here.
The following locations have already been chosen (we'll spare everyone the Roman numerals):
- 2026 - Superbowl 60 @ Santa Clara, CA
- 2027 - Superbowl 61 @ Inglewood, CA
- 2028 - Superbowl 62 @ Atlanta, GA
Speculation for 2029 is Las Vegas and 2030 in Texas, though these are not written in stone.
It usually takes around two years for a stadium to be built and fully equipped. It also costs around $2 billion. The newest NFL stadium in Inglewood, CA opened in 2020 and hosted the Superbowl in 2022 and a second one upcoming.
That means if the Bears announced a stadium deal this summer and broke ground immediately, there could be games in Arlington Heights by 2028 and a Superbowl shortly thereafter.

Can you spell "Detroit" ?
It doesn't matter when the 1st Super Bowl will be played in the Bears new stadium, because they won't be there.
Will the Bears team get discount tickets for the Superbowl when it's played in their stadium so they can get a good look at what winners look like?
Is that the mayor's prize closet door that's open like that? Is that the door he speaks of? Just asking for a friend
Super bowl 60!!! The bears haven't won since super bowl 20 and the moron fans will still go to watch a garbage team year after year.
Good riddance
You're retired.. No need to be obsessed with the day to day nonsense of the City or the Dept. Go enjoy yourself dude.
NO BEARS
NO BRANDON
Vote No on BJ on 23 Feb 2027
Send him packing to Aurora
I do believe that is Inglewood, California.
The Bears never benefitted the taxpayer; they only took from the taxpayer. Soldier Field was a boondoggle to funnel money to city agencies. Good riddance!
Who fucking cares about the NFL nowadays. These clowns hate the police and just like the rest of pro sports are nothing but entitled, police haters and leftwing policy cheerleaders. Fuck em.
By the time that place gets built they will have gone thru 2 more coaches, 4 quarterbacks, and numerous below 500 seasons.
You think the trades unions will let that be finished in two years? Hah....
Who cares. I just saw the video of the little wannabe gangster taken down in the park and the 20 other illegals on bikes and filming with their phones we paid for. Chicago is fucked but good and you're all paying for it.
See ya! Good riddance. In the grand scheme of things they add very little to the health of the local economy. The juice just ain’t worth the squeeze.
I think "Porkster" purposely screwed Conehead to get any help from the state..Porkster wants Conehead to be a failure to get him out.
True..Forget the stadium..Bears need to start winning!
Calm down
Daaaaaaaaam!!
Super Bowl Shuffle 2026, you heard it here first.
If the Bears move away it will be racist. Think of all the youth of color who will not be able to hustle concessions like a $14 can of beer. These youths will be unemployed not getting a bite of the NFL's billions of dollars apple ultimately resorting to public assistance of all types for their existence.
And then desperation not inspiration forcing them to relieve their negativity by smoking weed, wilding, having babies out of wedlock, auto thefts, discharging firearms on the public way, you get the picture. Maybe the Bears can set up a superfund providing checks for those displaced by their relocation initiative and provide real world sustenance providing reparations for economic upheavals. And maybe the Bears can illicit help from Rev Jesse Jackson or felonious Jesse Jackson Jr., Inmate # 32451-016, from Operation Plush to manage the money and redistribute the cash from the superfund to each according to their needs. This father and son team are representatives of the community and have vast experience handling money acting as fiduciaries for the community they service.
Probably democrats!
OFF TOPIC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_jO3QC4s_M&t=1s New Orleans escape: 11 inmates were on the loose. She looks familiar, LOL!
May be a last minute ploy to get $$. Remember, the state of IL is notorious for midnite deals as the session ends on May 31. I agree with the other poster, 2 years to build? Ha!! this is Illinois. 4 or 5 years at triple the original cost.
Imagine all the jobs lost
And all my fucks given in 2026.
Will Arl Hts have a police force to manage that stadium? Did Da Bears pay CPD for all the policing we did out there every game? Or was it a freebie like so many other things CPD had to “manage” and “control”? And a certain politico wedding also comes to mind……hmmmm…….
Shall we all kneel and say goodbye you won’t be missed.
Who cares? I don’t follow the Bears anymore
Bears negotiators-make a choice once and for all! Quit your BS,
Mayor Johnson… Nice job, in continuing to destroy this beautiful City. My City, where I was born and raised. You are such an incompetent fool.
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/12JisoLB49T/
Why even try to explain anything to non reasonable people .. grab your offender and get out.
Who cares about the Bears or the National Felon League?
How many billionaires have the progressives chased away.
YES!!! Someone who gets it while every guy yelling at his TV in a recliner curling a beer has been thinking! You are Paul Revere's great great great grandchild. While the rest of us sheep are distracted by tailgates with our fellow sheep, you’re out here saving society one rant at a time. We all aspire to be as happy, fulfilled, and effortlessly enlightened as you clearly are. Keep fighting the good fight General, coppers need heroes like you to remind us that enjoying football is a gateway to DOOM.
I heard they have reserved seats on the 50 yard line...
It appears as if the taxpayers in Chicago dodged a bullet.
Good people of Arlington Heights, BOHICA!
now Arlington heights will have to hire more po-leece do deal with the urban yoots that will somehow find their way up north to beat and rob the fans and don't forget to buy lots of those porta potties that only half the fans will know how to use
See if we just had a President Donald J. Trump and his Art of a Deal negotiating for the City of Chicago to keep the Bears as opposed to the scrub Let's go Brandon Johnson who can't pay his water and get put on a payment plan, Chicago's economy would be looking as bright as a police flashlight shining into a pulled over thug's car in Bronzeville on a hot summers night.
Look how promising and successful President Trump's Middle East negotiations were bringing back actual economic growth through his financial brilliance. Instead Chicago gets dumbasses like BJ Johnson who can screw up an economic wet dream failing too bring home the bacon. And this fool don't even use bear spray to chase them out of town.
FUCK the bears, the nfl and all other police hating, blm-supporting organizations !!
What will it take for coppers to take a stand against these left wing destroyers of society ?
It wasn’t enough that they adorn the name of criminals on their helmets but wouldn’t let them honor officers killed by criminals . Or them disrespecting the flag, the anthem and then playing the “black national anthem” at games. What will it take for coppers to care more about this country and our profession more than games played by the people that hate both ?!
A garbage team and garbage league that spits in our faces and gives millions in efforts to defund us!
They don’t all “hate the police”. That’s as stupid as saying All police hate the NFL”. There are of course the asshats such as the kneelers. The NFL has them-and so do we!
They’re both gonna lose and lose big!
They can use Soldier Field for kickball.
Now, kees me you fool!!!?
Meanwhile, our Conehead Mayor will be sashaying his dance moves at the Soldiers Field Beyoncé concerts tonight. Future empty stadiums won’t be on his mind. He’ll leave that to the next one term progressive Chicago Mayor. Must be progress to rid the city of this Alpha male sport. Who needs that he-man tax money from a rough sport?!?
You are so right on this. But, I am worried about the pension fund after 6 years of poor and racist leadership by Groot and not Conehead.
Put the coroner's seal on the door already, I want to take lunch.
So true. Stop rooting for loosers. I promise that I will never go to the new stadium unless the ticket and parking are Free because I won a contest.
The Bears better consult with Taylor and Beyoncé before they break ground.
Did you see the glasses on the Captain at the New Orleans press conference.WOW
I watch it because exactly what you stated, they’re clowns, they’re there for my amusement. If I am off on a Sunday, my brothers come over, a few buddies, we have beer, bourbon, pizza, and we watch the clowns dance. It entertains us. Dance clowns, dance for my enjoyment. Oh look, that clowns tibia snapped out of his leg! Crazy. You don’t have to only consume product from companies who like the police. You’re going to be a lonely, bored, hungry and thirsty individual if that’s the case. Who makes your underwear? Socks? What pop do you drink? Car do you drive? What oil do you put in it? What gas stations do you purchase from? You think fruit of the loom gives a shit about you as a police officer? You think BP Gas really cares? Pepsi? Coke? Kellogg? Or the companies of whatever products you buy? If you want to pick and choose things to not consume, that’s great, I do it, lots of people do, but at the end of the day, don’t hate on people who watch sports as entertainment, because you consume products and give your money to police hating entities every day, you just don’t know it. So, sit back, relax, and let the clowns entertain you if you want, we won’t judge.
Yes, the queen of broken hearts and the former hip hopper turned cowboy. I don't think Alan Jackson and George Strait want anything to do with Beyonce.
Good luck finding officers willing to work 6-3. That schedule is worse than 12’s.
The city still owes millions from the last Revamping of Soldier Field. Looking for over $4B for this fiasco with the Bears paying $2B?? All the overruns will be paid by the city & state, as usual. And there will be many. The owner's team value makes a huge jump with the new stadium and the taxpayers get a new Butt plug, bigger than the last time. And still our pensions will be lucky to be funded at a paltry 20-21%. If you are a diehard fan, spend the gas money to drive to Arlington Heights. These Fuckheads are using Monopoly money.
F this hood trash mayor, he and that small D pants Lori scared the Bears away with their woke black progressive bs. Look who's laughing now? Arlington Heights and the residents of the town who will make a boom of money from this towards their town.
Not with 350 acres to build on. Chicago was never going to be the site of new stadium. Hers going to cash in on mega project. Perfect location and guy with experience in charge. It’s a no brainer. Chicago concepts were just to keep AH honest and get them to keep negotiating. I can’t wait to work on project and go to games. It’s going to be a gas. Metra door to door.
J Park metra station drops you off at front door. Hop the train there. Party all day and train home. No car no traffic no BS.
Let’s Hope porky don’t fuck it up somehow.
Dome or no dome, the Superbowl is usually in a warm climate
Hey Mr. Sheep, if you want give them your money. Go ahead. But your attempt at sarcasm is just silly and pathetic. Now go trim your beard and get a couple new tats.
True, not all hate the police but the NFL is a kiss ass woke, BLM loving organization. I'd rather watch obscure college football. Teams without multi-millions a year in their budget.
They’ve been known to unplug the clocks in the chambers around 2355 hours to pass bills
There will be plenty of CPD who will wantto work security or a sidegig in AH...some bosshole will get the security concession and pay the cops 15 dollars an hour while he rakes in 25 an hour per copper and doesnt even have to show up.
Chicago
I honestly do NOT know ANY PO can still support the NFL after 2020!
Easy, cops who can’t stand being the police anymore and know this is only job.
Football is awesome! U guys can kiss my A$$. Yes I watch but ignore the bull. They stopped that take a knee BS so I’m good
Is it true no one is signing up for that new OT initiative? (New vri)

Well said. Exactly
And it’s all fake too. Sad to most but true
NBA even the NHL
I hated to admit it, but it’s all rigged
I’m with you. And I love the ridiculous comments and analogies trying to justify their support of organizations that hate the police, the anthem, the flag and the country while supporting criminals.
“they don’t all hate us” - ah we are speaking of the organization’s stated beliefs and demonstrated support NOT every individual within the organization !
“we have some in our profession as well” - yeah and I don’t respect, associate or support them either. IMO, our kneelers are even more despicable pieces of shit, they are the enemy within !
“you can be entertained by the clowns too” - Ah hell no. I don’t find the vice lords, latin kings or any other shitbirds entertaining nor do I give them any financial support.
The only way to effect real change is to stick together and demand it. Hit the organizations where it hurts like what happened with woke budweiser. But I guess that way too much to ask for from the it’s all about me/tik toc generation.
Make me a bicycle clown.
Correct. Saturday is football day.
The Pritzkers will have a new hotel on the new campus. Why do you think hamhocks helped it go there
it's well past time to hang up the Detroit thing, Detroit is far better off than Chicago & has been for while
Thats cause you don't have a life.
“The only way to effect real change is to stick together and demand it. Hit the organizations where it hurts like what happened with woke budweiser. But I guess that way too much to ask for from the it’s all about me/tik toc generation.”
Hahahaha you can’t even get two cops to agree on a lunch location.
Get out of Illinois and move to America. Saturday Down South for SEC football.
Wonder why things went bad after daley let Soldier Field get ruined and lose its landmark status by letting it be turned into an upside-down looking toilet bowl that cost 100 million more to screw up than what a new domed stadium cost to build in Milwaukee
They may have stopped taking the knee, but their hearts still hate the police. F-em. Don’t be a fool and waste your precious time and money on scum who would rather see you dead.
Dream on....
College is even a
Bigger joke now that they change schools and play 8 years for money.Just call it the minor league.
Start in 2025 done in 2028? LOL Add 500 million in cost over runs and another two years. 2030 at the earliest.
I'll miss the utes beating the 5 gallon pails like a drum in the tunnel under LSD.
Thats soccer not sucker
Yo, and that is why we continuously get shit on and we have no leverage.
NO UNITY, NO POWER!
says the soy boy liberal cuck
AH is going to 5/3 schedule on 9 hour shifts, plus 125k base (2025) after 5 years. Doubt there will be issues filling uniforms
To any Chicago officer debating making the jump to Arlington Heights, trust me. One in Ten laterals have found success there. They treat you like you're a Neanderthal.
