It seems to be for sale and has a lot of land and parking. Thoughts?
Strongly against.
Arlington Heights is too far from the city, no access to any CTA line and just not a good idea for the Bears to leave the city. If they wanted to get the Super Bowl, nobody would want to stay in freaking Schaumburg or Rosemont to party, they'd want to stay downtown and having to travel an hour to reach the venue would just be a mess.
People come from all over the world to visit the City of Chicago for the culture of the city and the neighborhoods, nobody wants to visit a Schaumburgafied Chicago Bears stadium.
If the city wanted it, they could probably do something with Northerly Island and put a monster stadium there. That entire space is a waste and right nearby the current stadium.
