Yeah Virginia is George halas daughterTo add to this, isn't the Chicago Bears the only thing the McCaskey family owns? So if they want to grow their wealth, an entertainment complex would be one way to do that.
Pretty sure the model is what the cubs are doing to wrigleyville.I thought the proposed stadium wasn't going to have super-sized capacity, something 70ish.

Ugh! If they move to Arlington Heights, they need to become the Arlington Heights Bears or the Illinois Bears, because they will no longer be the CHICAGO Bears.
Have you seen where the San Francisco 49ers play?Ugh! If they move to Arlington Heights, they need to become the Arlington Heights Bears or the Illinois Bears, because they will no longer be the CHICAGO Bears.
Everyone that lives in a Chicago suburb is from Chicago, just ask them.Ugh! If they move to Arlington Heights, they need to become the Arlington Heights Bears or the Illinois Bears, because they will no longer be the CHICAGO Bears.
Suburban stadiums are not good. Redoing Solider Field somehow needs to be done and it frankly needs to be done somewhere else than the current site but putting it way out in the Suburbs is a bad idea.Like the Arlington Cowboys, Inglewood Rams, East Rutherford NJ Jets and Giants, Santa Clara 49ers....
This is a great move for the Bears and the Chi-CAW-go area.
A world class stadium and room to develop the area around it. This is a complete win for the Bears.
If TV wants those downtown views then buy a blimp.
Burn in hell Soldier Field

I’m a big proponent of suburban living, because that’s what I prefer, and when we go to Chicago we stay out by Arlington Heights so this would be easier to get to for us. That said this would not work well on the whole. That area is the epitome of bad civil design. There is no connection to the CTA and you have to get a bunch of people out there for events. Wrigley works because it is still in an Urban are connected to everything. The United Center sucks though because it doesn’t connect well to the CTA and it doesn’t have the area around it built up. Moving to Arlington by ton Heights would be more like the United Center than Wrigley.

This is correctI always take the train to Wrigley. I've never had a problem with that.
I do always go early though to get a bloody at Murphys.
My concern is KC would be going from the greatest parking lot in sports to downtown with almost no parking, correct?Downtown baseball/basketball and suburban football seems to be the way many are going. KC is going to be moving Kauffmann downtown, but keep Arrowhead out there. This allows for day game walk up, corporate connections throughout the summer, and the Sunday travel, destination event of NFL games.
