The mayor of Arlington Heights released a letter to residents Tuesday, one day after Chicago Bears President and CEO Kevin Warren unveiled an update on the team’s stadium transition.
“As we celebrated the kickoff to the 2025 Chicago Bears season last night, we also cheered for the progress made by the Village and the Bears in regards to the development of Arlington Park,” Mayor Jim Tinaglia wrote. “Watching a national broadcast shine a spotlight on the Village of Arlington Heights was exciting, and we’re proud that our Village is the topic of many water cooler conversations this morning – from coast to coast and beyond.”
The letter said Tinaglia is “happy with the way this project is advancing” and noted the process will continue to move forward in the coming months.
“Prior to any approvals, residents and community members will be encouraged to provide their feedback, opinions, and input during neighborhood meetings that will be announced in the coming months,” he said. “Plans for the site will also be publicly discussed by staff, Village commissions, and ultimately the Village Board.”
Tinaglia noted traffic and economic studies are still being reviewed “but formal plans have not yet moved forward into the approvals process.”
“Our top priority remains ensuring that the project goes to its highest and best use and benefits the Arlington Heights community. Both the Village and the Chicago Bears want this development to reach its full potential and we’re happy to be working toward the same end-zone together,” he wrote.
As the Bears kicked off their 2025 season, Warren released a message to fans saying “this is the year” the team wants to accelerate toward building a new stadium in the northwest Chicago suburb.
In a letter to fans prior to the team’s home opener against the Minnesota Vikings, Warren said the team is aiming to host a Super Bowl within the next decade, and getting shovels into the ground and construction started on a new stadium will be key to making that goal a reality.
Warren pledged the construction would not require state money, and the team wants to begin “moving toward a future” with Arlington Heights as their home.
“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,” he said. “This is the year to finalize our stadium plans so we can officially bid to host a Super Bowl as soon as 2031.”
