It boggles my mind that some people (the Mayor of Arlington Heights) are even still trying to court the Bears. The Bears will build their stadium there and then go somewhere else in 20 years to build the next state-of-the-art stadium. It's downright idiotic that any mayor would want them in their town. Modern NFL teams are like blood-sucking parasites, they go wherever offers the juiciest prize. With that said, I don't know if Arlington Heights will offer any concessions, but it's pretty clear they'll need to build plenty of new infrastructure to accommodate the Bears. Once they leave, Arlington Heights will be screwed and left with a massive white elephant. This is the wrong approach all around and a completely stupid move. The Bear's owners and franchise are extremely wealthy. They should pay for every cent of infrastructure necessary to house the team. They should also pay for the construction and demolition of every stadium they build.
