Very unlikely there will ever be an Arlington Bears.

It's happening unless the city/state is willing to write a check for at least $2 billion to stay in the city of Chicago.

The Bears threatening to sell the property to a low income housing developer is all it will take for all these pointless hurdles being thrown at them to disappear.

Hate to tell ya this "Amigo", but that is sort of the essence of how life works.

It's almost certainly not going to happen.

Do you have some insider info to share?

Yeah, if the city/state is going to give the Bears $2 billion to stay. Maybe that will be the case.

Let the school district enjoy the tax based that comes from the low income housing at the site.

I don’t see how the city overcomes the ownership issue if they’re up against a competent negotiator.

Well, there are cities like Indianapolis that share profits from everything that happens there. Rock star singer Jim Irsay gets paid when the Final Four and Monster Truck events happen in the public stadium his team plays in. They also keep the money from the naming rights and just everything else.

Otherwise, it's the site at Arlington Heights. It's going to generate a massive amount of money for the Bears.

I'm now expecting them to remain in the city, but who knows?

I don't know what world you live in that you think there should be no heavy traffic getting into 70k stadiums.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

What sort of Section 8 project do you think is getting built here? I haven't seen anyone but you suggest that this is even on the table. More likely it would be a housing development with some affordable-housing aspect as is often necessary.

It would be a threat.

But plenty of developers would be happy to put in an apartment and townhome community there.

However, according to the report, the Board of Review’s decision to endorse the assessor’s valuation isn’t final. The board is giving the Bears until Saturday to reach an agreement with three local school districts on a lower figure.

According to a Chicago Tribune report late last month, the Bears presented two appraisals of the property, one for $60 million and one for $71 million, to the Board of Review.

Three suburban school districts, however — Palatine Community Consolidated School District 15, Arlington Heights-based Township High School District 214 and Palatine-based Township High School District 211 — have had the land valued at $160 million, the Tribune reported.

If the parties can’t arrive on a settlement by Saturday, the Daily Herald reports, the Board of Review will review the case by the middle of next week. The report also says the Bears could go to the state’s property tax appeal board within 30 days, or file a complaint in Cook County Circuit Court.
