Bears Leaving
Verifying what we've been saying for how long now?
Chicago Bears President and CEO Kevin Warren reiterated in a letter to fans the day of the home opener that the team is dedicated to building a new stadium in Arlington Heights.
"The Chicago Bears belong to more than just Chicago. We belong to the entire state of Illinois," Warren said. "We are at a pivotal juncture of the Chicago Bears franchise to build a new stadium, our future home in Arlington Heights, which will require zero state money for construction. This is the year to finalize our stadium plans so we can officially bid to host a Super Bowl as soon as 2031. This is the moment to begin moving toward that future, and we want you with us."
This will be one of the defining moments of Conehead's legacy. He didn't start the process, but he was there at its low-point.
Illinois and Cook County don't care - they'll still get their tax revenue. But Chicago won't.

Boing, The citadel, Catapilar, The Bears , United Airlines there a few more ...
Chicago sucks ass again. Western Detroit should be its new name.
I watched the home opener. Go go go. There must be a high school football field in Arlington Heights that the Bears could play on until this new stadium is built.
Wait til the wine box moms get a whiff of what happens to their paradise in Arlington Heights.
Who gives a fuck?
Best part of Kevin Warren's press release:"Chicago only has 10 cranes in the sky, which pales in comparison to other major cities."
Good riddance. Nothing has changed with new coach and supposedly new offense Embarrassed again on National television
When the Bears bought the Arlington Heights property in 2023, that was a statement. Now a move nets them significant property tax, infrastructure, mixed use, and location benefits that makes sense for the business. As a prior model, the NY Giants/Jets moved to Rutherford NJ in 2010, and have reported significant financial benefits as a result.
Ten of thirty-two NFL teams play in home stadiums outside of their namesake cities (e.g., NY, Dallas) for similar reasons the bears are moving. No surprise.
Caleb Williams is dyslexic. He can't decipher motion plays. Only the bears can draft a QB and not know that.
No loss they know we have zero leadership, conehead worst mayor in history!
Who cares! The Bears suck! The City Sucks! And now I am working my RDO because our leaders will not stand up for the citizens or the Department members! Time to hit the medical or par form?
I’m sure glad I was able to live the 85 bears Super Bowl.
I don’t see that ever happening again in my lifetime
No great loss. The place is just an elephant graveyard for high draft pick quarterbacks and head coaches.
The Sox are next, going to Nashville.
Retire in the next few yrs if you can! The powers that be will be looking to trim our pensions,you might be ok if ur retired?!
Just another business leaving Chicago. Thanks Brandon. Early odds for MASS shooting in Chicago this weekend is 1.5. Place your bets.
It’s only 8 home games a year.
Oh well.
Just another of many companies,teams leaving due to high taxes and extreme violent crime! Democrats ruin everything but favor criminals! Right Brandon and clown governor?
Who cares, Hopefully the Sox and Cubs are next..Ill help them pack.
The City wastes more manpower on the Cubs, let Ricketts spend some money on their own security, god knows they have the money.
This is all Trump’s fault that the Bears are leaving Chicago.
Please take the Cubs with you.
What do you mean? On game day Bear fans are some of the most polite well behaved people! 😂😂
The nail polish and crying on the sidelines should have been enough of a warning.
If you remember the 85 Super Bowl, it's time to schedule that colonoscopy.
Can’t believe any LEO or Veteran with a shred of integrity is continuing to support the league that disrespected our flag & national anthem and promoted and supported blm which encouraged defunding the police. A league that plays an alternative national anthem, has trans cheer leaders and continuous dei messaging.
What will it take for you people to wake up and bud light these assholes that despise you ?!
Democrats demonstrate once again they are consistent losers for the past 94 years and are the true destroyers of this city.
This sucks. That sucks. It's their fault. Woah is me. Buddy please get some help.
The left’s deconstruction of a major city continues. Somewhere, the good Daley, Richard J. and George Halas are shaking their heads.
Exactly
Who gives a flying fuck about the NFL?
It's a sad state of a mayor when is claim to fame will be a professional sports franchise moving out of the city he supposedly leads.
Worked a security detail for Mark Cuban last week . He was visiting Rate Field in a heavy show of interest to purchase the team.
Agreed
No one cares. How much will the city really lose with eight home games a year? Businesses nearby do not even attract the post-game crowd.
Force them to change their name to the Arlington Heights Bears, and have them change all of their publications and logo's etc., or fine them daily for the unlawful use of the City's name, images and likeness without contractual authorization. Or maybe they'll offer a one-time payout of 2 billion for continued use of the copyrighted material. The City could invest that for future growth. Oh, wait.... Well, we may have to settle for a a small check to conehead's private revenue stream.
Also the convention business will follow, new hotels, new meeting rooms. All of this just to get away from our murderous youth.
Thank you and 100% correct
They should have moved to Gary.
hahahaha now all those goofs who pay big money to watch all those poor oppressed millionaires play ball on field that has "black lives matter" and "end racism" painted on the ground can enjoy it over there
