naw, Arlington Heights/Schaumburg is a mini metropolis. Prime location and a metra station to go with it as well? WOW!

Six Flags Great America and Gurnee Mills and the Gurnee Red Lobster have no competitors when it comes to destinations in the Midwest

I think, by the time AH is ready for move in, the Bears will just about have fulfilled their Soldier Field obligation

My favorite teams

  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Nebraska Cornhuskers
  2. Villanova Wildcats
From what I've heard, they might as well move to Iowa if they're going to move to Arlington Heights.

Just hope whatever the bears build has more seating than what the bills planned, especially with that giant plot of land they got

Red Lobster? no one going there leading up to before and after a football game. Six Flags on gameday? lol

Schaumburg/AH supplies endless sports bars, fast food eateries, Metra station, close to major expressways, woodfield mall, theatres, etc etc.

winner winner chicken dinner!

You forgot palatine as well, which isn't too far down northwest highway.


I'm banned from 3 Schaumburg and Palatine bars, so you know that general area is a great time!

YES!

With this new update, there is a shift in their tone. The Bears are now acting under the assumption it is feasible. Hiring an architect could be seen as a negotiation tactic for getting the city of Chicago to further discuss Soldier Field Renovations. Realistically, it is not. Hiring a team of firms to put in months of work comes at a large cost and use of man power. It is a serious business move. Specifically hiring Manica, the group that built a $2 billion stadium, signals the McCaskey’s have the money to build “something state of the art”. More importantly, it signals they will likely see this build through to its completion if it breaks ground.

I used to like Red Lobster's cajun chicken salad option in River North before it became a Chase bank outlet and some poor woman got her face blown off.

I know there are many things to consider, but what seating capacity would you like to see?
